Since it is hard to see when the chicken is golden brown due to the leaves, what time and temperature would you use to deep dry it? I am going to try 10 min at 350.

I love anything pandan so I want to try this recipe, but is there another method besides deep frying that will work? Would you recommend baking or grilling?
