Recipe | Turmeric fried chicken

Ingredients (serve 4 to 6):

4 to 6 whole chicken legs, separated into thigh and drumsticks

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 tablespoon corn starch

3 tablespoons plain flour

Method:

1. Coat the chicken pieces with the turmeric powder, flour, corn flour and salt. The best way is to place everything in a zip-lock bag and shake well to coat.

2. Heat up 2 cm oil in a deep sauce pan and fry the chicken pieces, about 8 minutes on each side, over medium heat. They should turn a lovely, golden brown.

3. Watch that the chicken pieces do not burn. When the chicken juices run clear when pierced with a fork, remove from heat and drain on kitchen paper.
