I love fish sauce, but I sad to say that the best fish sauce that I had was not from the Philippines. Maybe we as Filipinos are making fish sauce too commercialized and cheap to the point that it lacks flavor. I won’t tell the brand of fish sauce that I used or the country where it came from – I’m just hoping that the Philippines will produce a high quality fish sauce that can compete with the international market someday.
Going back to the recipe, the flour and cornstarch mixture gives texture to the chicken – it makes the chicken crisp and delicious.
