Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, turmeric powder, chili powder, coriander powder, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, making sure they are coated evenly. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated chicken pieces, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken in batches if necessary.
Fry the chicken pieces for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Malaysian Fried Chicken hot with steamed rice and your favorite side dishes.
Enjoy!
