Prawn Paste Chicken, aka ‘Har Cheong Gai’ is beloved to any zi char or meat lover. The feeling of crispy CRUNCH that fills our mouths with flavor is unforgettable and the juices delightful. 
Our recipe today is that of a prawn paste chicken cutlet – one that will stun you because it’s so easy yet so yummy! We used boneless chicken legs for this, and on completing the marinating of the meat, deep fried it in Oki premium sunflower oil, leading to a sumptuous dish. 
Recipe serves 4, though you might want to cook more!
