We Made $1027 Fried Chicken For NIKI from 88Rising • Dish Granted

As an Indonesian, I can understand Steven and Brittney's reactions to the oil splashing when they fry the chicken and how they couldn't breathe and cough when your mother cooks sambal in the house. Seeing other people struggle makes me laugh since that is what I used to struggle with every time I returned home.

This is why we're supposed to have 2 kitchens, right? an outdoor one to cook delicious stuff and an unused indoor one just to brag.

[@danielkambuaya1610]

@@dapukisgoingon Yup, where I'm from we call them the "clean" kitchen (the indoor one) and the "dirty" kitchen (the outdoor one). The dirty kitchen is the one you use when you are cooking proper meals. Especially in large quantities for the entire family. The clean kitchen is mostly used to prepare drink like coffee or tea for guests, and maybe to plate up some snacks as well. This only applies to larger houses though, that actually have the space for both kitchens.

[@jerryputra9601]

Hi Steven.. I am your fan since the "Worth It" days and it is so great that finally you cook some Indonesian food. As an Indonesian and a chef for more than a decade I have some tips to par boiled the chicken Indonesian way. First, the yellow paste should be sauteed first until the paste produce a nice smell and turn golden brown. It is necessary to remove the bitterness and strong tangy flavour of tumeric. Then you pour the water and turn the stove low heat and then put the chicken while the water still cool. If you put the chicken on the boiling or hot water, the chicken meat will be tough and dry. Keep the low heat and stiring it periodically until it is really reduced or almost empty. It takes 3 - 4 hours to cook usually but you will left with spices rich tasty Indonesian style chicken. The Indonesian yellow paste usually contain of crush garlic, shallot, galangal, ginger, tumeric, lemon grass, lime leaf. Good luck! 😁

[@YukinaHawmie]

Thanks for the tip, Jerry! No wonder my chicken always become too tough after I fry them-I put the chicken when the water was already boiled. And that's how I stopped making this kind of fried chicken for almost three years 😭

[@jerryputra9601]

@@YukinaHawmie well,you should try my way of cooking chicken.. it will take a long time but worth to wait of juicy, tender and full of flavour chicken. And the method also worked well to another type of meat like beef or lamb. Good luck!

[@dionnynatanuel5305]

My grandma owns a fried chicken restaurant here in indo and I've seen the restaurant crew made the chicken so many times and you guys nailed it ❤️ but honestly it could be yellower, you need to submerge the chicken when you're boiling it to make it yellower, and you also can add coconut milk to make it mellower if you don't like tumeric that much. Other than that you did great 👍

So the chicken needed to be yellower and mellower

I can’t say I prefer one over the other, but I am worried that Steven might still be reeling from the first episode with Ronny.

[@ayapamungkas2267]

Extra tip: boiling the chicken (along with the spices) in coconut water instead of regular water will elevate the flavor on a whole new level. Also, don't be afraid of overcooked it. Our mothers at home usually boil the chicken down for at least half an hour before frying it to golden brown and crispy. For the rest of the chicken, you can store it alongside with the now thicken marinate in closed food containers and put them in the fridge for later frying. In freezer it can store for a month or two (make sure to really freeze it). But, usually the marinated chicken will never go to the fridge because the family with eat them all within 3 days because it's that good. 😅 I remember my mom used to make this prepared marinated chicken whenever she'd go out of the town for a few days. We only need to fry the chicken for quick meal and serve it with warm rice and sweet soy sauce sambal. Yum! Thank you for granting Niki's request!! ✨
