I think the Indonesians fry the best chicken. Their are always fragrant, crispy, delicious and full of flavour. My mother taught me to always add ginger to fried chicken. I can never figure what the chemistry is, but it always tastes wonderful.
Besides ginger, I also added tumeric, or yellow ginger. It makes the chicken look even more appetizing and inviting. Used a kampong chicken today, which means it is puny, but it is so delicious.
Wipe the chicken dry before seasoning
I pound the garlic, onion and lemon grass before adding the ground cumin, coriander and pepper to the mixture.
When all fried, it tastes like haven!
