Raw drumsticks
Flour coated chicken
Fried chicken cooking in the pan
Side of Yu Choy
Background:
Quick and easy fried chicken with a side of Yu Choy. I was in the mood for wings tonight, but I guess this is a simple (and relatively healthier) alternative to satisfy that fried chicken craving...
Prep:
- 1 Package of chicken drumsticks at room temperature - approximately 6 (can obviously substitute with other parts such as breasts, thighs...etc.)
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 TB salt
- 1 TS paprika
- 1 TS cumin
- Fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
Cooking:
- Combine dry ingredients and flour and set aside
- Lightly salt & pepper the chicken
- Coat chicken in flour mixture and set aside
- Dip chicken in dish of milk
- Apply 2nd coat of flour mixture to chicken and set aside
- Heat oil in pan (oil should be ~ 1/4 in deep) until hot but not smooking
- Gently pace chicken in the pan (do not crowd pan or temperature will drop too much in pan resulting in uneven fry)
- Cook ~ 2-3 min on each side on high heat to sear chicken (4-6 min total)
- Turn heat down to medium (to avoid burning chicken) and cook an additional 2-3 min on each side (4-6 min total)
- Cool on paper towel for 15 min and serve
