Brilio.net - Fried chicken serundeng is a typical Indonesian dish that combines the savory taste of fried chicken with the deliciousness of serundeng, which is grated coconut that is fried until dry. The crispy serundeng combined with the tender chicken meat produces an appetizing dish. This dish is suitable for everyday side dishes.
Judging from the manufacturing process, the chicken to be processed will be marinated together with grated coconut. Well, the grated coconut is then fried again in a lot of oil so that the texture is crispy and crunchy. Only then is the serundeng sprinkled on top of the fried chicken to be served.
Although at first glance it seems practical, this method tends to be complicated for some people. Not without reason, serundeng must be fried using a lot of oil with a special technique so that it does not burn. On the other hand, the frying process of serundeng can also make it oily, so it must be drained until completely dry.
Well, to prevent this, you can imitate the trick of frying serundeng as done by the netizen who owns the Instagram account @fazashamlan. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to using a special technique when frying serundeng so that the results are crispier and not oily.

If it feels dry, turn off the heat. Then the serundeng can be served directly with fried chicken. Or you can also move it in a jar to be stored later. Guaranteed serundeng will last 4 months without rotting or smelling musty.
"So you don't need to fry it in a lot of oil, OK? Apart from destroying the oil, it also has a lot of calories and causes cholesterol," explained Instagram @fazashamlan.
