For the past Christmas holiday, I tried a simple and classic recipe; fried chicken with bread crumbs – as always it was delicious ^_^!

Everyone loved it, the whole family stuffed themselves over Christmas dinner – so I figured i should share; hope y’all love it.

Fried Chicken coated with breadcrumbs – Delish!

Ingredients:

• 7 Pcs Chicken Legs
• 500gms Breadcrumbs
• 2 pcs Eggs – beaten in a plate
• 1 T dried herbs
• 1t Salt
• Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

1. Boil the chicken legs until cooked inside; for about 45 minutes to an hour. Drain them in a colander.
2. Take a medium frying pan and pour vegetable oil about 1/3 full. Heat it on a gas cooker (or if you’re living la vida Cookswell like me, an energy saving jiko ^_^).
3. In a plate, pour your bread crumbs, salt and herbs and mix with a spoon. Clean a medium tray and set aside.

4. Take one chicken leg at a time, dry it with a clean dry cloth or kitchen towel. Dip it in the beaten egg mix, then into the breadcrumbs mixture. Place the prepared chicken pieces on the clean dry tray.

5. When your oil is ready, place two or three pieces of chicken into the pan one at a time with tongs – be careful not to burn yourself.
   

   Fry your chicken and then dig into it!

6. Fry each side for at least 5 minutes or until golden brown; then turn and fry the other side until golden brown as well.
7. Remove the chicken pieces from the pan and place into a colander to drain excess oil or a tray lined with kitchen towels or serviettes to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve the chicken with your meal ready to eat. Enjoy!
