   1/2 c  Tamarind water

 The name means simply 'fried chicken', and that is all it is.  The


 marinade, however, gives it a characteristically Indonesian flavour.


 Marinate the pieces of chicken in this mixture for 2 hours, turning


 them from time to time. Strain the chicken, so that the marinade


 drips away from it.  Then deep-fry the portions, 4 or 5 at a time.


 Chicken fried in this way is excellent with Nasi Goreng.  [Nasi


 Goreng is fried rice. S.C.] Makes 4 servings. From "Indonesian Food
