Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken legs are crispy, make sure to pat them dry before cooking and use a generous amount of oil.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken legs in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven instead.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken legs. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the chicken legs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or hoisin sauce.
