Ingredients:
-
For the Chicken:
- 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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
