  4. Then add 1.5 tablespoons of Taoda soybean soy sauce (because the chicken legs I bought are relatively large, I can add my favorite soy sauce according to personal preference), then add a tablespoon of white sugar, a small amount of salt and boiling water, and stir evenly.

  9. Set aside the onions, ginger, and garlic, then put the chicken legs that have absorbed the moisture into the pan one by one. (A non-stick pan is also acceptable.) Start frying the chicken skin side down.

  11. The portion I bought was relatively large, so I could only fry it in batches. The fried chicken legs were put into a large bowl first.
