Spicy Fried Chicken Recipes

I know this is not the healthiest dish of all but who cares. We need to indulge ourselves once a while. I just need something comforting in this cold weather. Not the fried chicken from KFC or Popeye’s but some good old Malaysian style fried chicken. A lot of Malaysians like their chicken deep-fried, crispy and golden brown and loaded with spices. Chicken pieces done this way are common in what we call the Mamak restaurants or the Indian restaurants. Here is my version of Malaysian style fried chicken.

Ingredients :

1 small chicken (about 2 1/2 pounds) – clean and cut into bit size pieces
2 tbsp of chili powder (amount depend on how spicy you want)
2 tbsp of curry powder
1 tsp of turmeric powder
1 tsp of coriander powder
1 tsp of garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

6 tbsp of glutinous rice flour (for coating the chicken)

1) Put the clean chicken in a large container. Mix in all the spices except for the flour and mix well. Marinate for at least 4 hours before frying it.
2) Heat up some oil for frying. Coat the chicken with glutinous rice flour and fry the chicken over medium heat until golden brown and cooked. Drain off oil on paper towel.
3) Serve with your favorite chili sauce or it taste as good on it own.

Note : You can coat the chicken with flour but glutinous rice flour gives a really crispy chicken.
