Note:
- You can swap out items, like white wine vinegar for rice vinegar.
- You can add more or less chili, just depend how you can handle the spiciness.
- Want less dishes? You can just drain the oil after you fry all the chicken, leave a small amount (about a tablespoon) in the pan and use the same pan if you like.
