Ingredients

  • Pack of chicken thighs/drumsticks/ Wings
  • Flour
  • Eggs x2 or milk
  • Salt
  • White and Black Pepper
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Onion Powder
  • Chicken seasoning
  • Mixed herbs
  • Oil (sunflower/Vegetable)
  • Lemon

Utensils

  • Bowls or plastics to put the flour and eggs/Milk in
  • Medium-sized pot or pan

Method

  1. Put the cooker on a high heat and fill the pot or pan with oil and leave to heat. Be careful as you will be dealing with hot oil!
  1. Take the chicken out of the packet and wash the chicken with lemon (half), you can take the chicken skin off if wanted.
  1. Put the chicken in a bowl and set aside.
  1. Then put roughly 100g of plain flour in a bowl, within the bowl put a tablespoon of mixed herbs, a teaspoon of salt and pepper. Add in the cayenne pepper, onion powder, chicken seasoning, I measured it by eye. Mix the contents of the bowl.
  1. Crack two eggs and whisk it together.

6.If not using eggs, pour milk into a bowl, enough to cover the chicken when immersed.

  1.  Now you have to coat the chicken, first coat the chicken in the eggs or milk making sure that everything is covered.
  1. Then, coat the chicken in the flour also making sure that everything is covered

9.As the oil should be hot enough, the chicken can go straight into the pot, although check before you do this step that it is hot enough.( Graceful Tip drop a grain of rice into the oil and if it starts cooking the oil is ready for frying)

 

Repeat step 7 and 8 for the remaining chicken and put it in the pot.

 

Let the chicken fry until it is golden brown, then let the chicken drain on a plate with tissue.

Enjoy the fried chicken
