Trini-Chinese Style Chicken is another example of the multicultural evolution of Trinidad Cuisine. This deep-fried chicken dish is known for its dark crispy or "crispy," as we say in Trinidad, skin that crunches with every bite. A mixture of five Chinese spices, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce used as a marinade gives the chicken a deep rich flavor that is trapped within the moist layers of meat. This dish pairs well with any of your favorite Chinese side dishes or are perfect as an appetizer - also known as cutters - for your next time.
For the best results when deep-frying food: make sure the oil is heated to the correct temperature for that food item and do not overcrowd the pot by making sure there is enough room for the food to be fully submerged in the oil and space for flipping.
