For an extra crispy chicken, consider double-frying the pieces. Fry once for 6 minutes, remove, and then fry again for another 2-4 minutes until deeply golden. Adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar in the sauce to suit your personal preference for sweetness and tanginess. Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
