Polaki Fried Chicken

Ingredients for Polaki Fried Chicken:

  • Chicken fillets: as needed

  • Salt, pepper, paprika powder: as needed

  • Chopped garlic: as needed

  • White wheat flour (grade three zero, to keep softness after frying): as needed

  • Ginger powder: as needed

  • Garlic powder: as needed

  • Chicken broth powder: as needed

Preparation time:

60 minutes

Cooking time:

30 minutes

Total time:

90 minutes


How to prepare Polaki Fried Chicken:

  1. First, marinate the chicken fillets with salt, pepper, paprika powder, and garlic, and let them rest for at least three hours, up to overnight.

  2. Then, put the white wheat flour (grade three zero) into a bowl and season it with ginger powder, garlic powder, and chicken broth powder.

  3. Using tongs (I emphasize, do NOT use your hands as it will become doughy and the chicken won’t get that flaky texture), take the fillets out of the marinade and coat them completely with the flour mixture.

  4. Then dip them into water, and repeat the process again — coat with flour using the tongs, then dip in water, and coat fully with flour once more.

  5. Now, with a circular motion, roll the chicken between your hands. You will see the flour separate from the water and the fillets get a flaky texture.

  6. You must fry the fillets immediately. If you prepare them first and fry later, they will become tough.
