Tokneneng is deep fried pre-boiled chicken egg with crispy orange coating.
The orange coating is a mixture of flour, baking powder, food coloring (orange), and small amount of water. In a bowl, mixed all the ingredients well and evenly coat each egg before you deep fry.
Place them in a bowl with paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Serve with your favorite vinegar and chili dip.
