Crispy Indonesian Fried Chicken Wings Recipe

Ingredients:

• Chicken Wings: 1/4 kg, cut into several pieces

For the Spice Paste:

• Garlic: 4 cloves
• White Pepper: to taste
• Salt: to taste

For the Dipping Batter:

• Egg: 1
• Ice Water: as needed

For the Dry Coating:

• Sajiku Multipurpose Seasoned Flour: 1 medium-sized packet
• All-purpose Flour: 4 tablespoons

For Frying:

• Cooking Oil: for deep frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Rinse the chicken wings thoroughly under running water and set aside.

2. Make the Spice Paste:

   • Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic cloves, white pepper, and salt together until they form a smooth paste.

3. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Rub the spice paste all over the chicken wings, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let the chicken marinate for a while to allow the flavors to penetrate.

4. Prepare the Dipping Batter:

   • In a bowl, beat the egg and add ice water, mixing well to create a smooth batter.

5. Prepare the Dry Coating:

   • In a separate bowl, combine the Sajiku multipurpose seasoned flour and the all-purpose flour, mixing well.

6. Heat the Oil:

   • In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches the appropriate frying temperature.

7. Coat the Chicken:

   • Dredge each marinated chicken piece in the dry flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
   • Dip the coated chicken into the egg batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
   • Return the chicken to the dry flour mixture, pressing and squeezing to ensure a thick, even coating.

8. Fry the Chicken:

   • Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy on the outside, and cooked through on the inside.

9. Drain and Serve:

   • Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
   • Serve the crispy fried chicken wings hot, and enjoy your delicious Ayam Goreng Tepung!

Tips:

• For an extra crispy texture, you can double coat the chicken by repeating the dipping and coating steps.
• Maintain a consistent frying temperature to ensure the chicken cooks evenly without burning.
