My Super Crispy Fried Chicken

This one absolutely my favorite since I was a kid. But my mom can not made them so crispy like we ate at franchise restaurant. We usually eat it with hot white steam rice and hot chili sauce. 

When I marry my husband I tried to vary the ingredients and method to make my mom's crispy fried chicken become MORE crispy @(^_^)@ .. *sorry Mom, you still the best in some other traditional Indonesia food :p 

And now... Voallaaa.... hubby likes it ssoo much! We eat it with fried potato sometime or steamed white rice or mashed potato and salad as side dish.... it's ssooo Yummy!
