Most of the time, I would try to avoid frying food. The reason is abvious as the kitchen and everywhere else gets oily and smell oily after that - especially when I am living in a small apartment. However, I really love fried chicken and would love it even more if its home cooked. I learned from 5xMom that we can grill tumeric chicken. I tried this recipe twice and both times are successful. The taste is good and my whole house smell so nice while the chicken is grilling in the oven. Really fantastic!

Taste much better than it looks!

I just have to marinade the chicken overnight with tumeric, cumin, fennel powder, pepper and salt. Next day after I returned back from work, pop the marinated chicken in the microwave for 5 mins and transfer to the oven to grill for another 20 mins. In the meantime, I cooked a vege dish and heat up the soup. Dinner is ready!

This way of grilling chicken is much healthier as you can see in the picture that the oil from the chicken is all over the foil, not in the chicken. I also do not need any oil to grill the chicken, unlike frying. The skin of the chicken is crunchy and very fragrant, without the oily effect from frying.

Zoe usually do not like to eat meat, especially those in her porridge. I gave her some of the chicken meat from this grill tumeric chicken and she loves it. I just took the inside part which is juicy and fragrant and she was asking for more. Even getting impatient while I tear the meat out for her…hahaha. I will definitely cook this for her again
