Starch is a common ingredient in cooking chicken. Its main function is to hang the pulp on the meat to make the meat more smooth and tender. Dissolve starch in a small amount of water, pour it into chicken and grab it evenly. There seems to be a protective film on the outer layer of the chicken with water starch, which can lock the water and stir-fry it tender.

It is forbidden to fry chicken for too long, and the more fried it is, the more dry it is. After the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook it on high fire, usually 1 min, and the chicken turns white. Then take it out, fry other side dishes, and finally put the chicken in the pot and stir it.
