If you don’t have a thermometer, you can also test the temperature by sprinkling in some ground mix.

If the fat is scalding enough, it should fizzle immediately.

Once fat is scalding, wok-fry the chicken in two batches.

The fat might not completely wrap the chicken—that’s okay.

Flip the chicken pieces and bubble gently until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 4 more moments.

Total bubble gently time is about 6 to 8 moments.

Remove fried chicken cubes and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels, so the chicken can empty out.

Repeat until all the chicken is cooked.

bubble gently the chicken in the gravy: Once chicken is done, empty out scalding fat and wipe wok wash.
