Spicy Fried Chicken aka Ayam Goreng Berempah

I've been searching on the web for KFC chicken recipe but none I come across have an authentic recipe.  I decided to create my own recipe (Note: almost every day my families have been eating fried chicken to experiment which is the best recipe).  My hubby told me this recipe is for the best & told me to keep this recipe for future use.

So here I am to share this with you.....

Ingredients:
10-15 pieces Chicken Wing

1 egg

Salt

Oil for frying

Blended:

2” ginger

2” fresh turmeric

4 cloves garlic

4 dried chilies ~ deseeded

2 tsp coriander seed ~ roasted

1 tsp fennel seed ~ roasted

Batter:

100g Rice Flour

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 tsp cooking oil

120ml fresh milk

Directions:

1. Combine chicken with blended ingredients & egg.  Marinate for 1-2 hours
2. Combine rice flour, baking powder, salt & milk.  Stir batter till it is free of lumps & add oil to mix just prior to the deep-frying process.
3. Heat oil in a wok on medium.  Dip the chicken into the batter to coat well & shake off the excess batter.  Gently lower into the hot oil to fry till golden.
