Preparation
- Joint the chicken with a sharp knife.
- In a mixing bowl, add in flour, seasoning, chilli powder and paprika. Mix together.
- In another mixing bowl, beat two eggs.
- Fill your pan midway with oil and start heating - it will be ready when you throw flour in and it sizzles.
Method
- Use two hands for the dipping process, this saves you getting a gungy hand and you can still answer the phone without worrying about getting egg everywhere.
- Dredge chicken piece in flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip chicken piece into egg.
- Let the egg drip off, and then dredge again in flour.
- Set aside and repeat the process for all chicken pieces.
- Fry the chicken in the oil over medium heat. The process will take about 10-14 minutes for every 2 pieces of chicken. Turn over during frying so that they get an even crisp golden coating.
- Once both sides are cooked, remove and drain on kitchen towel until ready to serve.
Summary
There are many options when it comes to this recipe - you can chop the chicken up into nuggety snacks, and serve it with coleslaw, beans, gravy, whatever!
If you're having 2 pieces a head I'd also recommend a hearty portion of home cooked chips.
But then, that's highly recommended in all sorts of circumstances.
