In this recipe, it will not just be about the batter. The chicken will be rubbed with salt and pepper to make sure that the taste seeps into the very meat, not just the skin. To ensure that the meat is cooked, you can prick the chicken with a toothpick for 3-5 times before frying. This will allow the chicken to be evenly cooked.
