About this recipe

This crunchy marinated chicken is a recipe that I have perfected over the years, inspired by the flavors of Asian street food and adapted to my personal taste. I remember the first time I tried something similar at a small food stall on a trip, and since then I have been obsessed with recreating that explosion of flavor and texture at home. The key to this dish lies in the marinade. The combination of paprika, garlic powder, cumin, curry, onion powder, ginger and the two peppers (black and red) creates a symphony of flavors that penetrates deeply into the chicken, making it juicy and full of nuances. The wheat flour and cornstarch in the marinade not only help it adhere better to the chicken, but also contribute to a crispier texture when frying. The amount of water is crucial; it should be enough to create a paste that covers the chicken, but not so liquid that it drains. The Thermomix® is my perfect ally for this recipe. The precision and power of the machine ensure that the spices are mixed evenly and that the marinade paste has the ideal consistency. When adding the water, it is important to do it little by little and observe the texture to prevent it from becoming too liquid. If this happens, you can add a little more flour. For the breading, the combination of wheat flour with curry, garlic powder, cumin, red pepper and salt adds an extra layer of flavor and crispiness. You can adjust the amount of red pepper according to the desired level of spiciness. If you want a vegetarian or vegan version, you can substitute the chicken with firm tofu cut into cubes or cauliflower florets. The tofu must be pressed beforehand to remove excess water. You can also experiment with different spices in the marinade and breading, such as cilantro, oregano, thyme or even a touch of cinnamon. This crispy chicken is perfect for serving as an appetizer at parties, as a main dish accompanied by basmati rice and sauteed vegetables, or even in sandwiches and wraps. A yogurt sauce with fresh herbs or a homemade sweet and sour sauce are excellent accompaniments. If you have leftover chicken, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2 days. To reheat it, it is ideal to use the oven or air fryer to restore its crispiness. You can also prepare the marinade in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Thus, the day you want to prepare the chicken, you will only have to marinate it and fry it.
