Fried chicken had already been around for long. Some of the well known are the KFC chicken which the base of the company, and still becomes its best selling product all of the time. Wouldn’t it be great if you could cook some at home rather than having to spend extra money just to eat there? Well here’s a recipe that you could try at home

Crunchy Fried Chicken

servings for 8 pieces

Ingridients:

1 whole chicken, cut in 8 pieces
3 cloves of garlic, shred
3 cm (1 inch) of peeled ginger
1 teapsoon of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
2 egg, whisked
350 grams (12.3 ounces) of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
some cooking oil for fry

Directions:

give the chicken a message with the garlic and the ginger shreds
Spray the chicken with salt and pepper
pinch them with a fork so the ingridients will be absorbed inside
Set aside for 15 minutes
Put the chicken pieces into the whisked egg
Roll each pieces onto the flour that had been mixed with baking powder
Put them into the egg whisk again
Roll them over the flour again, make sure they’re completly covered with flour
Start heating the cooking oil, make sure you use plenty of oil
Fry the chicken with big fire, cook until they turn yellowish and swells
turn down the fire, but don’t put it off
proceed with cooking them with small fire until they are perfectly cooked
When done, set aside and make sure there’s no more oil left in the chicken

Note:
The cooking oil used to fry the chicken must be quite a lot that the chicken will be soaked in it. If you keep cooking the chicken using medium/big fire instead of small fire then the chicken would be raw on both inside and outside.

admin — Wed, 13 May 2009 10:47:18 +0000

Also known as Bird’s Nest Soup, this sweet dessert soup is made from the nests of the swiftlet, a type of swallow. It’s very good to cook this for a special occasion. Authentic bird’s nests are quite expensive, not surprising given that the nests come from the hardened saliva of the swiftlet swallow. It could be a good choice for a romantic evening, as bird’s nest is rumored to be an aphrodisiac.

Swallow's Nest Soup

Ingridients:

2 ounces birds nest
7 to 8 tablespoons crushed rock sugar, or to taste
4 cups water

Directions:

Prepare the bird’s nest: soak it in cold water for several hours or overnight.
Rinse well. Go over the nests and pick out any loose feathers.
Boil the bird’s nests twice: Bring a pot of water to boil and simmer the bird’s nests for about 5 minutes. Again, rinse well and squeeze dry.
Place the bird’s nests in the pot and add the water. Bring to a boil and simmer until the bird’s nests are quite soft (up to 2 hours)
Add the rock sugar, stirring to dissolve. Serve the soup hot.
