Salt Fish-Flavoured Fried Chicken 咸鱼炸鸡

Salt Fish-Flavoured Fried Chicken 咸鱼炸鸡


Recipe source :  replicated from a restaurant dish

SK and I first tasted this fried chicken at a small eatery in Telok Panglima Garang which is a small town along the Klang-Banting trunk road in Selangor, Malaysia.  We found this dish very special as the batter contains salt fish. In fact the aroma from frying the chicken floated around the whole restaurant when the chef fried the chicken pieces. I blogged about this outlet a few weeks ago. If you are interested to know more about that restaurant, you may read about it here
