First step to make this recipe is to bone the chicken legs, including the thighs by scraping the meat from the bone, working downward and keeping close to the bone. Pull the meat down over the bone (pulling it inside out like a glove) and cut it free from the bone.And then discard the skin and cut the meat from each leg into 6 pieces. Second step : You need now to use a bowl mix the soy sauce, vinegar, half c water, the garlic & ginger root. Step 3 : now use another bowl, and mix the egg & cornstarch and dip the chicken pieces. Heat the oil in a wok or deep, heavy skillet until very hot,
add the chicken and fry it for 4 to 6 minutes, or until it is crisp. Transfer the chicken with tongs to paper towels to drain then pour off all but 1 T of the oil from the wok. Add the soy sauce mixture, the chili peppers and the chicken and cook the mixture over moderately high heat for 2 mins, or till heated through. Transfer it to a heated serving dish.
