STEEMIT IRON CHEF ACT 2 ROUND 02 : Fried Chicken

Greetings Steemit Iron Chefs,

Recalling my childhood memories always reminds me of fried chicken. Flavorsome, crispy, and juicy taste is so enjoyable. I demanded fried chicken almost every day and I was almost granted because I was a good boy then and favorite by my mother. Perhaps, it is still one of my favorites. So today, I'm going to make my childhood and all-time favorite fried chicken recipe.

Ingredients	Quantity
1 whole chicken	450grams
Cooking Oil	1 liter
Egg	1
Flour	1/2 cup
Salt	1teaspoon
Pepper Powder	1 teaspoon
Spicy Powder	1 teaspoon
Garlic Powder	1 teaspoon

Procedures:

• Wash the chicken and dry. Slice the center ( breast ) to make sure that no moisture can builds up.

• Rub the chicken with salt and all the spices and refregirate for 5 hours.
• Mix the egg and four to make a batter and coat the whole chicken.

• After 5 hours heat the oil in a deep pot.
• When the oil is ready reduce the heat to medium range and fry the chicken for 5 minutes on both sides and let it cool for an hour.
  _{Notes:Cooling the the fried chicken let the moisture evaporates and doing the second fry makes the chicken extra-crispy.}

• Fry the chicken again and done.
• Slice and serve with catsup.

The process is quite long but it's worth it. Cooking delicious food is not an instant or a shortcut. It is like life, it took patience and perseverance to taste the best of success.
