Flipping through the Truck Food Cookbook by John T. Edge, I see a recipe for fried chicken that catches my attention as it is marinated in a garlic/soy sauce/ginger mix before frying.
Umm, yum!
In addition to the marinade, the recipe mentions that corn starch is a great batter, instead of flour. As corn starch gives the batter a very thin crunchy consistency.
My writer buddy mentioned to me while we were eating chicken wings, that he knew what made them so good. Chinese five spice.
It was then that I had the thought to combine all of that. The corn starch tip, and the five spice.
I have to say that the addition of five spice really improves everything for me. It smells so good while eating.
