　　【Ingredients】

　　450g shredded chicken, 100g shrimp, 150g pork lard, 10g chicken leg bones, 50g eggs, 10g sugar, 7.5g Worcestershire sauce, 7.5g salt, 20g Shaoxing wine, 2g MSG, 20g scallions, 3g pepper, 20g starch, 1250g peanut oil (actual usage about 150g).

　　【Preparation Process】

　　Mix the shredded chicken and shrimp together in a bowl, add eggs, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, Shaoxing wine, MSG, minced scallions, and pepper, and stir to combine. Rinse the pork caul fat clean and cut it into 10cm squares. Place the shredded chicken and shrimp on the pork caul fat, arrange the chicken leg bones at one end of the fat, and wrap them into the shape of chicken legs. Beat the eggs with dry starch to make a paste. Heat the wok and heat the oil to 70% hot (about 175°C). Coat each Dragon and Phoenix Leg dough piece thoroughly with dry starch, then dip in the egg mixture, roll in breadcrumbs, and deep-fry in the oil until light yellow. Reduce the heat to low and fry for another minute until cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon and arrange neatly on a plate to serve.
