  • 1 kg chicken (cut into pieces)

• For the Marinade:

  • 3 candlenuts (kemiri)
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste

• For the Coating:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chicken seasoning (e.g., Royco)
  • 125 grams seasoned flour (e.g., Sasa)
  • 25 grams cornstarch (maizena)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • Begin by grinding the candlenuts, garlic, coriander seeds, and black pepper until you have a smooth paste. Add salt to taste.
   • Rub this marinade mixture all over the chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
   • Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors infuse into the meat.

2. Prepare the Coating:

   • In a bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the chicken seasoning and ground black pepper.
   • In a separate shallow dish, place the seasoned flour and cornstarch, mixing them together well.

3. Coat the Chicken:

   • Dip each marinated chicken piece into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
   • Transfer the egg-coated chicken to the seasoned flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres well.

4. Fry the Chicken:

   • Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep pan or fryer until it reaches 180°C (350°F). The oil should be enough to completely submerge the chicken pieces.
   • Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
   • Cook the chicken until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.

5. Serve:

   • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
   • Serve hot and enjoy your crispy, flavorful fried chicken!
