"Merica" in Indonesian means White pepper. One day, My family and I went to an Indonesian restaurant, and we ordered White pepper fried chicken. We liked it very much, however, it was quite expensive. When my children requested me to cook this dish one day, I took the challenge and I came up with this. My version however is baked rather than fried. Again, I cook this with estimation :)
Ingredients:
1 spring chicken- skinned and cut into smaller pieces
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp salt
1 dsp white vinegar
1 tsp white pepper
steps:
mix everything and marinate for at least 15 minutes
mix the marinated chicken with 2 tbsp oil
put in casserole and bake at 200 C till chicken is done
gravy:
4 shallots , 1/2 large onion , 2 dsp oyster sauce and 1 dsp water - blend
1 tsp( heap) white pepper
1 dsp soya sauce
steps:
heat oil in wok
fry the ingredients above, the remaining marinade and juice of chicken after they are baked
adjust seasoning and cook till gravy thicken before pouring them over the baked chicken.
Bon appetit~
