I made this tonight for the family. Chicken was phenomenal, Marinade adds a great flavor to the crispy fried chicken. I screwed up making the sweet and sour sauce. It’s pretty easy (IMO) to burn the brown sugar, which I did with flair! I also think the recipe uses way too much red pepper in the sweet and sour glaze. I will surely make this again, but I will make a different dipping sauce.
Love you cooking videos on youtube. Truly inspirational.

What is the amount of chili flakes, vinegar?

I watched the video and I believe the “Red Paste” you’re referring to is a combination of the Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Ginger and Paprika all ground together to form the paste.
Juan –
What was that red paste you added to the chicken?

Hi. In the video you add vinegar to the sauce right? How much did you give?
