BBQ Sauce Fried Chicken

I opened the freezer the other day and realized that I have three containers of my homemade BBQ sauce. Not only were these taking up space, they were also depriving me of containers.

Then I remembered my ex-primary school classmate, K. Nor of Secubit Garam, posted a recipe using BBQ sauce. K. Nor's blog is a rich source of reference but my friend has since retired from blogging. I miss her pot pet (banter) but I can always visit her on FB.

There is a recipe for a special BBQ sauce in K. Nor's post (which she adapted from another blog) but since I already have my own, I will keep that BBQ sauce recipe for another time.

The chicken pieces are simply marinated with light soya sauce, Maggi seasoning, black pepper, egg yolks (I used one whole egg) and some cornflour. 

Then you fry the marinated chicken. I did not deep fry the chicken, instead I shallow fried it.

Ler ni minyak mahal, so kaedah deep frying tak main.

I actually dreaded the thought of frying the chicken but hey, this time it seemed like a breeze. Maybe I was in a good mood. The chicken was very crispy. This marinade is pretty good.

Kalau ikut perasaan, nak ratah gitu jer.

Then the next step is to saute some garlic, onions and then throw in the chicken and pour in the BBQ sauce. Then toss the whole lot to coat. 

The result? Spectacular. If your BBQ sauce is good, you are sure to score on this dish. 

I could not stop eating the chicken and had to stop myself before I devoured half of the platter hee..hee..
