It took Peter Machinis a few tries to get the technique down for getting the perfect tender and crispy piece of meat. It's definitely not a step to rush or take shortcuts.

Making this dish at home can serve a crowd of people. One great tip from Peter Alexander Machinis is to fry all of the chicken first, then leave some pieces plain if your guests are not a fan of spicy food. This way everyone wins and gets to enjoy delicious food, spicy or not.
