Turmeric Spiced Chicken


This dish was me trying on something new.  I was inspired by Phong Hong's Chicken Garam Kunyit and wanted to give it a try.  But knowing me, I didn't go and shop for the ingredients but just made use or substitute what I had at home, this dish came out looking nothing like the post that I was inspired with.  I think using the chicken breast in my part was a mistake as the meat didn't turn out juicy and tender.  For this dish, the skinless and boneless chicken thigh would be much preferred.  Oh well... Certainly learnt from my mistake.  I still want to thanks Phong Hong for the recipe though!  :-)

Oh the part of the chicken that I seldom cook or even buy! :O

Oh, you tried it! I'm sorry it did not turn out as you expected. I recommend that you use chicken pieces with bone-in or if you want boneless, thighs and drumstick meat is better. And thanks for the mention!

I think your dish still looks nice!
I don't eat chicken but when I buy for my family, it tends to be thighs. They always complain if I buy breast as they say it's dry! :-)
