Fried Chicken (Mum's Recipe)

This is how my mum used to cook her fried chicken for us when we were kids. Nowadays, no more fried chicken since she is on a healthier diet and we also don't go back often, so she doesn't cook this anymore. It's a very simple recipe but make sure you marinate it at least 2 hours and it's best if you can marinate it overnight.

Ingredients:

Chicken (medium-size pieces)

Salt

Pepper

Five Spice Powder

Flour

Egg White (beaten - 1 or 2 is sufficient)

Oil

Method:

1. Marinate chicken with salt, pepper and five spice powder for at least 2 hours.

2. Heat wok and pour in enough oil for deep frying.

3. When the oil is hot, dip the chicken into egg white and then cover with flour and fry it till golden brown. Use medium heat to ensure chicken is fully cooked.
