Crispy Balado Popcorn Chicken

Ayam Popcorn Balado: A Crispy Indonesian Delight

Ingredients:

• 300 grams of chicken, cut into bite-sized cubes
• All-purpose seasoned flour (Kentucky-style)
• Oil, for frying
• Balado seasoning powder

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   Start by coating the chicken cubes with the all-purpose seasoned flour. Ensure each piece is evenly coated.

2. Remove Excess Flour:
   Gently shake the coated chicken pieces to remove any excess flour. For best results, use a sieve to sift the flour off, making sure no clumps remain.

3. Fry the Chicken:
   Heat oil in a pan until it is hot but not smoking. Fry the chicken pieces in batches, ensuring they do not overcrowd the pan. It is crucial to maintain a medium heat to avoid burning the chicken and to ensure it cooks evenly. Fry until golden brown and crispy, then transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4. Season the Chicken:
   Place the fried chicken pieces in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle the balado seasoning powder over the chicken. Gently toss and shake the bowl to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

5. Serve:
   Your Ayam Popcorn Balado is now ready to be served. Enjoy this crispy and spicy Indonesian treat as a delightful snack or part of a meal.

Bon appétit! 😊😘
