Inche Kabin is more than just fried chicken; it is an embodiment of the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into creating a dish that transcends ordinary expectations. It is a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of the Nyonya chefs, who have mastered the delicate balance of flavors, textures, and spices to create a culinary masterpiece. 

Ingredients:

• 1.5 kg chicken pieces (assorted parts like wings, drumsticks, or bone-in thighs)
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons ginger paste
• 2 tablespoons lemongrass paste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, ginger paste, lemongrass paste, soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, curry powder, turmeric powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the chicken.
4. Carefully place the marinated chicken pieces into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken in batches if necessary.
5. Fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chicken pieces, but it should take approximately 20-25 minutes.
6. Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Serve the flavorous Inche Kabin hot and crispy, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a delightful meal. It pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, pickles, and a refreshing side salad.
