Fried Chicken Al Baik



  1. Al Baik Chicken Saudi

One of her fondest memories from her time there was of Al-Baik chicken, a fried chicken restaurant chain with amazing chicken and garlic sauce. In Maryam’s nostalgia, we’ve worked hard to recreate the fried chicken since it’s not available outside of Saudi. And we think we got pretty darn close. Al Baik adalah restoran cepat saji ayam goreng yang sangat hits di Arab Saudi. Penduduk Timur Tengah begitu menyukainya. Begitu pula para jamaah dari penjuru dunia yang sedang beribadah umroh maupun haji. Para TKI yang bekerja di Arab Saudi juga doyan makan ayam ini. Menurut Wikipedia, nama Al Baik. Albaik Chicken Recipe: 1: In a bowl mix together 1 tsp dry ginger powder, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder, 2 tbsp paprika, 3 tbsp lemon juice and 3 tbsp oil. Mix well and make thick paste. 2: Prick the chicken pieces well using fork. Marinate chicken pieces with the prepared paste for 4 to 6 hours.
