Ingredients

Marinated chicken

  • 5 pieces Chicken drumstick
  • 5 clove Garlic grated
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Coriander powder
  • 1 tbsp Chicken powder
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 5 tbsp Cornstarch

Stir-fry Seasoning

  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 6 cloves Shallot
  • 5 Curly chili red pepper
  • 8 Curly chili green pepper
  • 3 Cayenne pepper
  • 4 tbsp Tamarind water
  • 1 tsp Chicken powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • ⅓ cup Water

Instructions

  1. Prepare a medium bowl, then mix the chicken with the marinade ingredients, stir, and let it marinate for 1 hour. 

  2. While waiting for the chicken to marinate, prepare the seasoning by roughly blending garlic, shallots, red curly chili, green curly chili, and cayenne using a chopper. Set aside. 

  3. After 1 hour, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the chicken until both sides are golden brown, then drain and set aside the remaining frying oil. 

  4. Pour a little of the frying oil, then sauté the roughly blended seasoning until fragrant. 

  5. Pour tamarind water and seasoning, then stir until well combined. 

  6. Add the previously fried chicken, then pour water. Stir and cook until the water reduces and the seasoning is absorbed. 

  7. Chilli chicken is ready to be served!
