Notes

Use fresh garlic and ginger for the best flavor. Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook chicken in batches for maximum crispiness. If you want to lighten the dish, consider using low-sodium soy sauce or baking the chicken instead of frying. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheat gently.
