Brilio.net - Chicken seems to be everyone's favorite food. Apart from being delicious, chicken is also easy to prepare into various delicious and filling dishes. Well, one of the processed chicken products that many people often consume is fried chicken. It tastes delicious, especially if it's deep fried it can make you addicted. In addition, the inside of the meat usually remains soft even though the outside is crispy.
Super simple and delicious, fried chicken itself can be prepared in various ways. Such as frying it in flour to make it crispier, breading it before frying it, or frying it straight away using marinade. Of course, this fried chicken is suitable as an everyday mainstay menu, you know.
However, apparently there are still many people who are reluctant to cook their own fried chicken. Not without reason, because for some people frying chicken can be homework in itself. One of them is that when dipped in hot oil, fried chicken can immediately cause the oil to explode and injure the skin. Not a few people usually get around this by sprinkling flour into hot oil. Both rice flour, tapioca and wheat are thought to calm the oil so that chicken meat does not explode when fried.
However, if you are avoiding using flour, don't worry. You can try the method used by an Instagram user named @asi.siswandari. Through one of his video uploads, he shared a trick for frying chicken without using flour so that the oil doesn't explode and the results are crispy. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @asi.siswandari on Friday (12/7), he uses garlic and ginger.

Before adding, heat the oil that will be used to fry the chicken. Then add the chicken meat, one by one, to the frying pan. Once done, add 1 piece of ginger and 1 piece of garlic. Then fry the chicken as usual until cooked and crispy.

The owner of the video then tried to bring his hand closer to the frying pan and it was proven that the oil did not splash or explode at all. Well, using ginger and garlic is indeed effective in reducing oil explosions, you know. Because basically, ginger and garlic put in oil will absorb the water content of the chicken meat. Therefore, the condition of the oil becomes calmer because the water content is reduced.
