Yield: 4 servings

1 md Chicken

The name means simply 'fried chicken', and that is all it is. The

marinade, however, gives it a characteristically Indonesian flavour.

Marinate the pieces of chicken in this mixture for 2 hours, turning

them from time to time. Strain the chicken, so that the marinade

drips away from it. Then deep-fry the portions, 4 or 5 at a time.

Chicken fried in this way is excellent with Nasi Goreng.
