Recipe - Ayam Goreng Asam (Indonesia) Piquant Fried Chicken

1 One half Roasting chicken
3 Cloves garlic
1 One half teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Palm sugar or substitute
2 teaspoon Ground coriander
One half teaspoon Ground turmeric
1/3 cup Tamarind liquid
Oil for frying

Cut chicken into small serving pieces. Crush garlic with salt to a smooth
paste and combine with pepper, sugar, coriander, cummin, turmeric and
tamarind liquid. Rub over the chicken pieces and leave for 1 hour, or cover
and marinade in refrigerator overnight. Heat enough oil in a large heavy
frying pan to cover base of pan. Take chicken pieces from marinade and
drain on paper towels to get rid of excess moisture. Put pieces into the
frying pan and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side, turning
with tongs until golden brown. Reduce heat, cover pan and cook for 1012
minutes longer, turning pieces halfway through. Drain on absorbent paper
and serve warm.
