Mandalay: Recipes & Tales from a Burmese Kitchen

MiMi Aye · Mandalay: Recipes & Tales from a Burmese Kitchen

I associate Burmese fried chicken with road trips, as when we're travelling around Burma and make a pit stop in any village, it seems that women always come rushing to our rolled-down windows to sell us baskets of their freshly fried chicken (I call them The Chicken Ladies). I'd say BFC is better than KFC and it definitely has far fewer ingredients. It's commonly eaten with a plate of hot rice that's been drizzled with some of the oil used for frying and sprinkled with a little salt. BFC is also great eaten cold...if you can manage to wait that long. Make it once and you're addicted for life.
