I’m not a huge fan of meat, in fact, I am only now starting to discover it. Of all meat I have tasted so far, one thing that is a positive and sure bet is chicken. You can never go wrong with chicken, trust me. I am yet to see or meet…or even hear….maybe even google someone who hates chicken meat. There is none.

In case you do not want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, just place your chicken, chopped, into a pan, add salt then put on low heat. Let it cook for 45-50 minutes, occasionally turning the meat and you will have perfectly cooked fry chicken. If you however want to take your taste buds for a trip, take your fried chicken a flavorful mile further with the recipe below;

Ingredients

Whole chicken-cut in pieces

Chicken masala-4 tablespoons

Curry powder-1 teaspoon

Black pepper-1 teaspoon

Salt-1 teaspoon

Sugar-2teaspoons

1 lemon(Wedges)

Tomato paste

Garlic and ginger paste(blended)

METHOD

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Beat lightly to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.

Put the chicken pieces in the bowl with the spice mixture and mix well, ensure you coat the chicken fully and entirely. Place in a bowl and cover with a cling film for 2 hours.

2 Hrs later, place oil in a pan and onto the fire. As it boils, pour 1 cup all-purpose flour into a bowl, add 1 cup of cornflour, mix in 1 tablespoon of salt,1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper(optional), and turmeric for colour.

Take out the pieces of chicken, piece by piece place them into the flour mixture and into the oil.

Cook for 12-15 minutes and do not overcrowd the pan as the pieces of chicken will not cook evenly.

Remove from heat and place the yummy chicken pieces on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve with lemon slices to taste.

Disclaimer: You might have to close your windows as the aroma can be so good it might invite unwanted and unaccounted for guests(for budget purposes). In case this happens, you might want to prepare more chicken by repeating the above process.
