2 Stir cornstarch and rice flour into chicken and yogurt mixture just before preparing to fry chicken.
3 Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and chili peppers carefully into the hot oil, working in batches, and fry, stirring frequently, until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes.
