Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken thighs
• 1 cup Plain low-sodium yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ginger powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Non-sodium poultry seasoning
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine plain low-sodium yogurt, low-sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 2

Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

In another large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, paprika, baking powder, and non-sodium poultry seasoning.

Step 4

Remove chicken from marinade and let excess marinade drip off.

Step 5

Add water to the flour mixture and stir until it forms a thick batter. It should be similar in consistency to pancake batter. Add more water if necessary.

Step 6

Dip each marinated chicken thigh into the batter, ensuring it is fully covered.

Step 7

Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully place each battered chicken thigh into the hot oil, frying a few pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding.

Step 9

Fry the chicken for about 7-10 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 11

Serve the low sodium Ayam Goreng Tepung hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes.
