Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Frying pan
  • 1 pair of tongs
  • 1 paper towel
  • 1 plate

Ingredients
  

  • 1 kilogram chicken pieces
  • 2 tablespoons turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 500 milliliters vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine turmeric powder, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and lime juice to create a marinade.
  • Add chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well to ensure they are evenly coated.
  • Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Carefully place the marinated chicken pieces into the pan using tongs.
  • Fry the chicken for about 15 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure that the chicken pieces are of uniform size for even cooking. Adjust the level of spice in the marinade to suit your taste preference. Always use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) to ensure it is safely cooked.
