Instructions

In a large bowl, combine eggs, salt, pepper, sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, and bouillon. Add chicken pieces and mix thoroughly to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
Remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Add potato starch and rice flour to the marinated chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated with the mixture.
Heat oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C) in a large skillet or deep fryer. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through. Be sure to maintain the oil temperature for optimal crispiness. Drain the fried chicken on paper towels before serving hot.
