Pandan chicken makes a great appetizer or finger food for your party and they are so easy to make.
Just get some pandan leaves, some marinated chicken, toothpicks for the wrapping and you will be in business…

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 ended up doing 8 min. It was the hit of the party.

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?
Rasa Malaysia
