Ann’s Ayam Goreng Berempah (Ann’s Spicy Fried Chicken)

This is a great way to fry chicken. The longer you marinade, the better the taste. And its great with white rice, beriyani rice or tomato rice. Even nasi lemak.

The best part of the chicken is the crispy stuff that made up the marinade…mmm so crunchy!

INGREDIENTS

1 chicken, skin off

1/2 medium sized onion

3 cloves garlic

2” ginger

4 lemon grass

2 tbsp curry powder

2 tbsp thick soya sauce

2 tbsp honey (optional)

Salt to taste

Oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

Cut the chicken into small pieces (like you would make a curry), wash well and drain.

Cut the onion, garlic, ginger, and lemon grass into cubes and blend everything. Do not use any water. Add the curry powder, soya sauce and honey (if using) and mix well. Add salt to taste.

Mix well with the chicken pieces, place in a bowl and leave in refrigerator to marinade overnight.

To fry, heat oil (not as much as for deep frying) and pour everything into the pan and let it fry on medium heat till chicken is cooked and the marinade crispy.
