Note from Mac

The tricky part about cooking this recipe lies in the frying. The inside part sometimes can be still a bit raw despite the outer part is already turning golden brown. To make sure this doesn't happen, try to play with the stove setting by putting it on medium heat instead of going full high heat. Another thing that you should look out is the batter and the mixture. Sometimes the mixture can crumble, making it less crunchy than it should have been. I would say the ingredients look very easy but without practice, it is difficult making an actual crispy and crunchy fried chicken that's better than a take out. Most fried chicken recipes in Indonesia that I know of added MSG or Umami in the recipe to make it more savory. However, this recipe excludes it as we don't use it. If you prefer extra savory other than from salt, go ahead try add a pinch of it. ~ *Mac* ![Line_Break2.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/macchiata/fWJQeIot-Line_Break2.png)
