Fried chicken is, in my humble opinion, the perfect comfort food snack. Ever since watching Breaking Bad and seeing Los Pollos Hermanos I have been a fried chicken junkie!
It’s crispy, juicy and bursting with flavour. Whenever I have a fried chicken craving, it simply must be satisfied! This recipe is quick and easy to do at home so long as you are organised. By making your fried chicken at home, you will know exactly what is going into it and it is likely to be be healthier than your local chicken shop.
