How to make World famous Albaik ( Saudia ) style Broasted chicken

Wash the chicken thoroughly . Keep the chicken totally pat-dried .
Marinate the chicken with 2 tablespoons salt , ginger garlic paste , 1 teaspoon red chilli powder , 1 teaspoon sumac , 1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce .
1 tablespoon paprika , yogurt , oregano , sugar .
Mix all together using your hands .
Marinate . Refrigerate the chicken for 6 hours / overnight for best results .
In a regular pan / idli pan , add 2 cups water . Place a round wire / idli plates .
Place the marinated chicken pieces and steam them for 10 minutes by covering the pan .
Steam the chicken for even cooking and better Masala absorption reasons . Even frying becomes easy and quick . Steaming stops blood oozing from chicken pieces and takes away unpleasant odour from the chicken pieces .
Meantime , while the chicken is getting steamed , prepare for the last coating .
Mix 4 cups all purpose flour , 1 cup bread crumbs , 1/2 teaspoon baking powder , 1/2 tablespoon salt , 1/2 tablespoon red chilli powder .
In another container , mix flour and salt for first coating .
Now , cool the steamed chicken . Needn’t cook completely but shouldn’t be hot .
Start coating .
Cover the chicken with first coating mixture .
keep the coated chicken pieces aside for 5 minutes .
Now , we need 4 cups milk .
Dip the coated chicken in milk and do last flour coating .
Similarly , do double coating . Dip the chicken again into milk and last flour coating .
Keep it aside for 5 minutes.
Heat the oil in a wok .
Make sure the oil is hot and then drop the coated chicken pieces one by one in the hot oil .
Fry the chicken pieces for 6-8 minutes . Do not overcrowd and fry in batches .
Remove excess oil and serve hot hot with hummus / sauces / garlic mayo. Serve with French fries and burger buns to bring the authentic AlBaik effect at home .
AlBaik style Broasted chicken is ready .

My Tip:

Sumac enhances flavour and colour of the broasted chicken . Any hot sauce could be used to replace sriracha sauce . Double coatings are done for the perfect AlBaik chicken texture . Don’t omit the steaming step . Steaming is mandatory for this recipe . Japanese bread crumbs gives perfect coating texture. Use regular bread crumbs only if Japanese bread crumbs unavailable .
