If ordinary fried chicken seems boring to your taste, I think Peking style fried chicken is the one you are looking for. It is a very simple oriental style fried chicken that you can cook whatever day you like because the ingredients are few and easy to find. Ngohiong powder or five spice powder was not easy to find in supermarkets in recent years but nowadays you can find it in some supermarkets on the condiments and spices section. Even Mc Cormick has five spice powder in our local supermarkets. Just like to mention the method of cooking this chicken, you cannot avoid having a burned chicken if you fry it but roasting it in the oven will solve that problem.
