Directions

1. Combine chicken and marinade ingredients and mix together thoroughly. Let marinade at least 30 minutes up to overnight

3. On a plate or in a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cornstarch, 1 tbsp Chinese five spice, 1 tbsp salt, and optionally 1 tbsp MSG.
4. Add the chicken to the starch mixture and coat thoroughly
5. Fry at 350F for 5-7 minutes
