After years of testing so many different methods, I’m so happy to finally share this recipe for ayam goreng (Malaysian fried chicken) 🍗 🇲🇾 🫰🏼!! Recipe below, let me know what you think Serves 4 For the bumbu (spice paste): 8 chicken drumsticks 1 bulb of garlic 2 banana shallots 20g ginger 2 lemongrass stalks 1 tbsp salt 1/2 tsp MSG 1/2 tsp white pepper 1 tsp sugar 2 tbsp curry powder 2 tsp chilli powder  For the milk mix: 1 pint of milk 4 tbsp rice flour 8 tbsp self raising flour For the flour mix: 20g rice flour 40g self raising flour 120g potato starch 4 tbsp sambal @mamayuchillioil 1L vegetable oil, for deep frying For the spice paste, roughly blend the garlic, shallot, ginger and lemongrass in a food processor. Using a sharp knife, make 2-3 shallow slits on each piece of chicken, focusing on the thicker parts of each piece to help the marinade penetrate and ensure even cooking. Add the chicken to a large bowl, pour in the milk and leave to soak for at least 30 mins, this will help tenderise the meat.   Remove the chicken from the milk (but save the milk for later), allowing any excess to drip off. Add the blended paste and remaining seasonings, mix well and set aside.  Prepare the milk mix and flour mix in two separate bowls. Dredge the chicken in the milk mix then into the flour mix and repeat for the remaining drumsticks. In a large wok, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 175°C, you can also test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of flour mixture in, it should sizzle and float to the top or place chopsticks into the oil and if bubbles emerge the oil is usually hot enough. Fry the chicken on medium-high heat for 6 mins, flipping halfway through, then on medium-low heat for 2 mins, flipping halfway through. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding and until the chicken is crispy, golden and cooked through. Remove the fried chicken and place it on a wire rack or paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve your fried chicken with fried curry leaves and lots of sambal !! #ayamgoreng - @xiensscran
