Vegetable oil for frying

1 Tbsp Cooking wine
1 Large Egg white

Let chicken legs in a milk bath for 5 min and rinse. Cut chicken legs into bite-sized pieces, season with seasoning ingredients, and marinate for 10 mins. Chop peanuts roughly.

Combine dry mixture ingredients in a bowl, dip chicken legs into the mixture to coat.

Add enough oil in a pot, heat to 338 °F/170 ℃, and fry chicken legs until golden brown on the outside. (To make it crispier, fry once again on high heat.)
