Crispy Fried Chicken (Ayam Goreng Tepung Krispi)
Ingredients:
- 1 kg chicken pieces
- 1 small packet of seasoned flour (such as Kobe)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3-4 tablespoons high-protein flour
- Cooking oil (as needed for frying)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Begin by cleaning the chicken pieces thoroughly. Use a fork to prick the chicken all over to allow the marinade to penetrate. Set aside.
-
Marinate the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the refrigerator and let it marinate for 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
-
-
Prepare the Wet Batter: In a bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of the seasoned flour in 8 tablespoons of water. Mix until smooth to create the wet batter.
-
Prepare the Dry Coating: In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining seasoned flour, high-protein flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
-
Coat the Chicken: Dip each piece of marinated chicken into the wet batter, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, transfer the chicken to the dry coating mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the chicken to form a thick, crispy coating. For extra crispiness, gently pinch the coating to create a textured surface.
-
Fry the Chicken: Heat enough cooking oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium to low heat. Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil. Fry the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
-
Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through and has reached a golden, crispy texture, remove it from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot and enjoy your crispy, delicious fried chicken!
