For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before coating and frying. Adjust the number of chile peppers to suit your spice preference. Serve immediately for maximum crispiness. If making ahead, keep the chicken and sauce separate until ready to serve.
