Salt and Pepper Fried Chicken

One of the Chinese Restaurants’ menus that my daughter and I always ordered back in my home country 😍. It’s crunchy, buttery salty, and spicy. Just the perfect combination. You can use fish or oyster mushrooms to replace the chicken or even shrimps. Please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary (Indonesian) or @jenscookdineandtravel (English) if you like my recipes 🙏🏻
