All these ingredients are readily available in Vietnam and can be found at many imported food stores. The given amounts of spices and chicken are suitable for 4 servings.

– Take the chicken out of the bowl and dip it into the spice and herb mixture. Try to coat each piece of chicken evenly. You can put all the chicken in the spice bowl and use another bowl of similar size to cover it, then shake it well. Finally, place the coated chicken on a baking sheet and let it sit for about 20 minutes.

– While the coated chicken is resting for 20 minutes, heat a large amount of canola oil to approximately 176 degrees Celsius. Fry about 3 to 4 pieces of chicken at a time, ensuring that the chicken is fully submerged in the oil. Once the chicken turns golden brown, it is ready to be removed. This cooking step typically takes around 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer the fried chicken to absorbent paper to remove any excess oil. Repeat the same process with the remaining chicken pieces.
