For an extra crispy texture, ensure the oil temperature is consistent throughout the frying process. Adjust the amount of cold water in the batter to achieve a smooth, flowing consistency. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a sweet chili sauce or a spicy gochujang sauce. Marinating the chicken overnight yields the best flavor. Ensure chicken is dry before coating with cornstarch.
