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