For an extra crispy coating, try double-dredging the chicken in the cornstarch mixture before frying. Adjust the amount of red chili paste to suit your spice preference. If you don't have dry sherry, you can substitute with rice wine vinegar or cooking sherry. Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying to achieve the perfect golden-brown color. Garnish with chopped green onions for a pop of freshness and color.
