2 teaspoon salt + 1 teaspoon for the butter

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

12 tablespoons butter (1½ sticks/175 g)

1 Heat enough oil for deep-frying in a large wok over medium high heat.

2 Rinse the chicken pieces thoroughly and place in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle all

the spices evenly over all the chicken, rubbing gently into the skin. Allow the chicken
to sit for 10 minutes.

3 Deep-fry the chicken a few pieces at a time, as many as the wok will allow without
overcrowding. Cook on each side for approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Larger pieces
such as breasts may require longer cooking times. Drain the cooked pieces on paper
towels before transferring to a serving plate.

4 Melt the butter in a small saucepan over high heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of garlic
powder and 1 teaspoon of salt until thoroughly mixed. Drizzle the melted butter over
the fried chicken just before serving.
