Poulet Marfar
I enjoyed Marfar Chicken for the first time at a restaurant called Kim’s, I believe that was 10 years ago or more, the restaurant is closed now. They served small chicken strips dipped in a tempura-like batter with lots of sesame seeds, along with a special pink sauce they made.
This Marfar Chicken is similar to chicken bites. You can slice the chicken breast however you like. Some people prefer to fry larger pieces, while others do not. I love to make my Marfar Chicken as strips to get the best crunchy results.
I made my Marfar Chicken a little bit different from what the restaurant served. I mixed the chicken pieces with buttermilk, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Then, I coated them with flour, dipped them in eggs, and finally fried them.

What is Marfar Chicken?
A fried chicken made with small pieces of chicken breast. It’s covered in a special mix that makes it taste really good, It’s crispy and full of flavor, usually, Marfar Chicken is made by marinating the chicken pieces in a mixture of buttermilk, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. After marinating, the chicken is coated in flour, dipped in eggs, and then fried, I call Marfar Chicken the Chinese chicken bites. The result is a delectable dish that offers a satisfying crunch with each bite, making it a popular choice for gatherings and family meals. While Marfar Chicken is a favorite, there’s also a delicious alternative that those who appreciate fried delicacies must try: the southern fried chicken liver recipe. This recipe takes the same principles of marination and frying but applies them to chicken livers, resulting in an irresistible appetizer that is both rich and flavorful.
