Ingredients
- whole spring chickens (800 grams each), neck and giblets removed
- 1/4 cup rock salt
- 20 pandan leaves
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- oil for deep-frying
- banana ketchup and atchara to serve (optional)
Directions
-
Wash chicken thoroughly. Rub cavity and flesh with rock salt. Wash to remove salt and drain. Stuff cavity of each chicken with 10 pandan leaves.
-
Arrange chicken in a preheated steamer and steam for 20 minutes. Remove chicken from steamer and let cool.
-
Rub each chicken with 1 tablespoon fish sauce and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
-
Heat oil in a large wok or deep fryer. Deep-fry chicken for 5 to 8 minutes per side, until skin is golden brown. For extra crispy chicken, chill the chicken in the refrigerator after frying. When ready to serve, re-fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with banana ketchup and atchara, if desired.
