We celebrated our third marriage anniversary nearly two weeks ago.
It has been three most wonderful years of sharing our love, joy and happiness together. May our beautiful blissful life continues for many more years to come.
I made sotong goreng tepung (crispy deep fried squid) with chevre cheese and sweet chilli sauce for appetizer.
I used the similar flour combination as oven fried chicken but omitted the marinating part with cream. The squid was dried, dipped into the flour and fried until they turned golden. Sotong goreng tepung has always been our favourite, we just couldn’t get enough of it every time 
For main menu, I prepared this country chicken and deep fried king prawn with creamed spinach.
I fell in love with Whitney Miller’s country chicken and creamed spinach, the menus that brought a total change of her life for winning Masterchef USA. But I couldn’t find the recipe anywhere on the internet 
So again, I used the oven fried chicken recipe but pan fried the chicken with some olive oil 4-5 mins on each side. Use chicken breast for this recipe and make sure it is not too thick. For creamed spinach, I used the recipe here. I was happy that eventually both turned out very well 
I made butterfly cut on the back of the prawns, seasoned them with some black pepper, garlic powder and salt. Then I deep fried for 2-3 minutes before serving them hot with the chicken, spinach and pomegranate (buah delima).
I also made this vanilla slice for the dessert using a recipe from Masterchef Australia‘s webpage.
I may have made some mistake as my slice was not as good as shown, but rather thick with pastry and kind of heavy too. The custard was otherwise good 
We successfully had a beautiful candle light dinner with table for three. We loved it
May The Love That We Share Last Our Lifetime Through. Happy anniversary my sweetheart.
♥I love you with all my heart ♥
Crispy Oven Fried Chicken Recipe
- 4-5 chicken drumstick (or other parts)
- For chicken marinate
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (I used 15%)
- some black pepper
- some cayenne pepper
- some white pepper
- some chilli/paprika powder
- some garlic powder
- some salt (not so much as there is more salt in flour coating)
- For flour coating
- 1 cup corn flour/glutinous flour (or mix 1:1 ratio)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika/chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt to taste
- some chicken bouillon powder (optional)
*you may add or reduce the amount of spices according to your like
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.
- Marinate the chicken with ingredients for about 30 min.
- In a medium bowl or gallon size resealable plastic bag, mix together the ingredients for flour coating.
- Place the marinated chicken pieces in bowl/bag with flour coating mixture and coat/shake until well coated. Place chicken pieces on the oven grill rack and place baking paper/baking dish with suitable size below the grill rack (to collect the juices coming from the chicken during baking).
- Spray with olive oil all over the chicken. (if you don’t have any sprayer, drizzle olive oil all over)
- Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the chicken turns golden.
