Secret technique for preparing crunchy bone-in chicken legs at home

Ingredients:

– 1 piece of chicken leg

– Spices: five-spice powder, fish sauce, salt, sugar, cooking oil

– Fresh rice vermicelli

– Fresh vegetables

Preparation of Ingredients:

Step 1: Cleanse the chicken legs

Clean the chicken legs with water, then pat them dry with a clean cloth or place them in a basket to drain excess water before proceeding to bone removal.

Step 2: Bone removal

After drying the chicken legs, use a sharp knife to slowly cut through each layer of meat clinging around the bone.

Slice the meat from top to bottom. As you cut, use your hand to pull the cut meat down, gradually revealing the chicken leg bone.

Once you've cut to the joint of the chicken leg, cut forcefully down to the cartilage to remove the bone section.

Remove the bone and then peel back the meat of the chicken leg as it was initially.

Step 3: Marinate the chicken legs

Place the chicken legs in a bowl, marinate them with 1 tablespoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 1/2 tablespoon of five-spice powder. Marinate the chicken legs for about 20 to 30 minutes to allow them to absorb the seasoning evenly.

Steps to Make Crispy Bone-In Chicken Legs

Step 1: Steam the chicken legs

For a delicious and enticing crispy bone-in chicken leg dish, it's essential to steam the legs first. Steaming ensures that when you fry the chicken legs, they won't burn, and the inside will cook evenly.

Roll the marinated chicken legs and tie them with string or twine. Place the legs in a pot and steam above boiling water. Steam for about 1 hour until the chicken legs are cooked. Let them cool before frying.

Step 2: Fry the chicken legs

Heat a pan with cooking oil. Place the steamed chicken legs into the pan and fry until they turn golden brown. Transfer the fried chicken legs to a plate.

Step 3: Arrange on a plate and enjoy

Use a knife to slice the chicken legs into thin pieces and savor them with fresh vermicelli and raw vegetables. Adding a bit of garlic-chili fish sauce makes it perfect. Hopefully, this will be a refreshing dish to bring diversity to your meals.
