The specialty of fried chicken lies in the simplicity of the process of making it which still produces an extraordinary taste. But actually there are several methods that can be done by some people in making fried chicken . Some people marinate it first, but some choose to fry it directly after being given flour.
After investigating, wheat flour can make chicken crispier and curly. However, in some cases, wheat flour can also make chicken soft when it is cold. Therefore, many people use other alternatives such as Instagram user @aaron_laksana.
This chef and content creator admitted to using another type of flour when making fried chicken to make it crispier . As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @aaron_laksana on Friday (8/23), the type of flour used is rice flour. Well, this rice flour makes the chicken crispy and lasts longer when fried later.

Meanwhile, for the spices used, Aaron relies on a number of spices, such as shallots, garlic, cayenne pepper, and finely ground roasted shrimp paste. Not only that, Aaron also uses torch ginger as a natural flavoring that will make the fried chicken more fragrant. This torch ginger is ground together with spices and a little cooking oil.

After that, mix the spices with the chicken that has been washed and cut into pieces. Don't forget to add salt and flavorings too. Then stir and marinate for 2 hours so that the spices are perfectly absorbed into the inside of the chicken. After that, set aside first.

Once marinated, immediately coat the chicken with rice flour that has been given powdered broth. After that, fry in hot oil until completely cooked and crispy. Fry with plenty of oil until it turns brown. Then remove and drain. Well, that way, the fried chicken is ready to be consumed as a side dish.
