Equipment

  • Electric Fryer - Ideal for deep-frying chicken and parsnip fries to achieve the perfect texture.

  • Nonstick Skillet - Great for sautéing ingredients before frying or as an alternative method if not using a deep-fryer.

  • Spice Grinder - For freshly grinding spices, including those needed for the spicy vinegar sauce.

  • High-Sided Saucepan - Useful for preparing and cooking the sauces involved in this recipe.

  • Silicone Baking Mat - Helps to ensure even frying of chicken by providing a consistent surface when using air fryers or conventional ovens as an alternative to deep-frying.

  • Digital Thermometer - Ensures the oil temperature is perfect for frying, critical for achieving crispy yet moist results.

  • Oil Filter and Bucket - Essential for cleanup after deep frying; they allow for easy removal of excess oil from the cooking vessel.

  • Wooden Spoon or Tongs - Useful for safely handling hot foods while assembling, serving, or transferring them out of a skillet or deep-fryer basket.

  • Deep Fryer with Basket - Specifically designed for frying large quantities and ensuring even cooking. This matches the recipe's requirements perfectly.
