Indonesian Fried chicken Recipe

Ayam Goreng

(Indonesian Fried Chicken)

Ingredients

1 md Chicken

1/2 c Tamarind water

1 tb Clear soya sauce
A pinch of chilli powder
1 ts Ground ginger
1 ts Ground coriander
1 Clove garlic, crushed
A pinch of turmeric

Directions

The name means simply 'fried chicken', and that is all it is. 

The marinade, however, gives it a characteristically Indonesian flavour. Marinate the pieces of chicken in this mixture for 2 hours, turning them from time to time. Strain the chicken, so that the marinade drips away from it. Then deep-fry the portions, 4 or 5 at a time. Chicken fried in this way is excellent with Nasi Goreng. [Nasi Goreng is fried rice. S.C.] 

Makes 4 servings.
