Fried chicken thighs with minced seasoned flour

This minced fried chicken with seasoned flour features tender and juicy chicken thighs coated in crispy tapioca flour and a warming touch of turmeric and pepper. After being fried until golden, the chicken pieces are tossed with a spicy minced spice mix—a mixture of red chilies, green chilies, garlic, and onions—which is sautéed with oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and spring onions until fragrant and thickened. The result is a combination of a savory-sweet crispy exterior and tender chicken meat with a delicious aroma of spices and a mild spicy flavor.

Indian Chicken Masala Curry

The freshly cooked Indian curry chicken is a feast for the eyes! The thick golden curry sauce wraps each piece of tender chicken. As soon as the aroma of spices floats into the nose, you can smell the warmth of turmeric and the spiciness of cumin swirling in the air. Gently poke it with a spoon, the chicken is stewed soft and tender, and when you take a bite, the gravy mixed with curry bursts in your mouth - the soft fragrance brought by the Indian curry masala flavor, the fresh and spicy slowly rises, leaving a slight sweet aftertaste, and the carrots and onions become extremely tasty. The thick curry sauce is poured on the hot rice, and each grain of rice is wrapped in a golden coat. When you take a bite, the layers of spices unfold on the tip of the tongue, and the warmth irons from the stomach to the heart. After eating, you can't help but smell the curry fragrance on your fingers a few more times~

The dish offers a delightful contrast between a crispy outer layer and a soft interior, with just the right amount of warmth; its simplicity makes for easy execution, though it can get a bit dry if left in the pan for too long. Serving it with a fresh dipping sauce adds a touch of freshness.

Fried Chicken Wings with Spices

Fried Chicken Wings with Spice Seasoning is a mouth-watering Indonesian fried chicken dish, combining crispy fried chicken wings with traditional spice seasonings that are perfectly absorbed. The combination of garlic, turmeric, ginger, and coriander creates a fragrant aroma and a distinctive savory taste. The 30-minute marinating process ensures that the spices are absorbed into the meat, resulting in chicken wings that are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Served warm, this dish is perfect to be enjoyed with white rice and chili sauce as a complement.
