1
Slice open the thick part of the chicken to even out the thickness.
-
2
You can then cut into bite-sized pieces, or keep them as is (I do the former).
-
3
Combine all the ingredients marked .
-

The classic version uses a strong sweet vinegar, but adjust it to suit your taste.
-
5
To make the tartar sauce, mix the minced onion, mashed boiled egg, milk, and mayonnaise together.
-
6
You can reduce the sharpness of the onion by soaking it in water.
-
7
For those who dislike the sharp bite of onion, rinse several times and soak for longer.
-
8
Tip: If you chose to use store-bought tartar sauce, refer to the tip below (under Helpful Hints).
-
9
I soak the onions in lightly-salted water together with cucumbers.
-
10
Before mixing with the mayonnaise, be sure to squeeze out the excess water to prevent the sauce from becoming too thin.
-
11
Dredge the chicken in flour first, then egg, then flour again.
-
12
It's easy if you put the chicken and flour in a bag and shake it .
-
13
Once the pieces are evenly coated, throw in the egg.
-
14
When the egg is in the bag, break and mash it with your hands, rub it into the chicken, then coat the chicken in flour on a tray .
-
15
A thin coat of flour is best.
-
16
Heat a small amount of oil on low-medium heat, and fry the chicken until golden brown.
-
17
For those who kept the skin on, fry with the skin side down first.
-
18
Since the fat of the skin will ooze out, be sure not to use too much oil to start.
-
19
Reduce to low heat after flipping the pieces over, cover with a lid, then steam slowly.
-
20
Once they are cooked through, remove excess oil with a paper towels, add the combined -marked ingredients from Step 2, and cook on medium to high heat.
-
21
Be careful not to cook for too long.
-
22
Slice into bite-sized pieces, arrange onto serving plates, pour the sauce on top, then top with a generous amount of tartar sauce.
-
23
For a healthier version, try substituting yoghurt for milk to make the tartar sauce.
-
24
It'll give it a tasty and refreshing tartness.
-
25
Try it and see!
-
26
In this version, I added cucumbers to the tartar sauce.

27
Serve it with a side of vegetables and make it a healthy meal.

It gave it a refreshing taste.
