- Heat vegetable oil about ¼ inch deep for shallow frying until very hot but not smoking.
- Fry the chicken on both sides until golden and crispy each side.
- Put the chicken on to a baking sheet and cook in the oven for approximately 30-45 minutes, (depending on the size of the portions) and the centre measures 165℉ (74℃)Or, make sure there's no pink juices in the middle of your chicken.
Notes
I like to use drumsticks, thighs or chicken quarters, and adjust the cooking times as needed.
This is so crunchy and tasty. I like to eat it with a sweet chilli sauce but it will go equally well with many other types of sauce as the mood takes you.
