TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.
TIP: Allow the oil to get nice and hot before adding the chicken so it can crisp up properly.
TIP: To steam the bao instead, place a pot with 2cm of water over high heat. Once boiling, place a colander lined with a baking sheet on top of the pot. Place the bao (three at a time) on the baking sheet. Cover and steam for 3-4 mins.
