• 1 kg chicken, cut into pieces
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp turmeric powder
• 1 tbsp salt
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp lime juice

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric powder, salt, lime juice, and water to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

3. 3

   Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

4. 4

   Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated chicken pieces, skin side down. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes on each side.

5. 5

   Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6. 6

   Serve hot with steamed rice and fresh vegetables.
