• It's important to fry the chicken in low heat otherwise the outside will start to cook while the inside remains raw.
• If you don't have cornflour, use rice flour to give the outside a bit of crispness
• Marinate the chicken at least 2 hours then only chicken will be soft
• You can marinate more than 2 hours to get  more softer.
