Q & A

What is the main purpose of the recipe shared in the video?

The recipe aims to teach viewers how to make fried chicken with only 5 ingredients, resulting in tender, juicy chicken with a crispy exterior, paired with a fresh and flavorful tomato sambal.

Why is vinegar used in the fried chicken recipe?

Vinegar helps reduce the chicken's odor, enhances the garlic and chicken powder flavor, and contributes to a beautiful color and crunch when frying. It also evaporates during cooking, so it doesn’t leave a sour taste.

What role does tapioca flour play in the recipe?

Tapioca flour is used in the marinade to make the chicken tender and the skin crispy. It helps create a light, crunchy exterior while ensuring the meat remains juicy and flavorful.

What are the key ingredients for the tomato sambal?

The key ingredients for the tomato sambal are tomatoes, shallots, bird's eye chili, oil for frying, and seasonings such as salt, sugar, and optional shrimp paste.

How should the chicken be prepared before marinating?

The chicken should be cleaned and chopped into 14 even pieces to ensure they cook evenly. The size of the pieces affects the cooking time and juiciness of the chicken.

Can I use different types of chicken for this recipe?

Yes, you can use broiler chicken, young roosters, or free-range chicken. The key is to choose tender chicken as it will be marinated in vinegar and tapioca flour to enhance its tenderness.

What is the importance of marinating the chicken?

Marinating the chicken allows the flavors from the garlic, vinegar, and chicken powder to penetrate the meat, making it more flavorful and tender. It's recommended to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours for better absorption.

Why is it important to bring the chicken to room temperature before frying?

Bringing the chicken to room temperature ensures that it cooks evenly. If the chicken is too cold, the center will remain undercooked, and it may be difficult to fry properly.
