Mr Strongman Fitness doesn't like that fried chicken. You know, the stuff from the famous place. Too greasy apparently. So he was quite pleased last week when I took it upon myself to create a tasty healthier version.
If you've been keeping up with my "not-quite-so-filthy" recipes, you'll know that it's minimal ingredients and faffing, for maximum tastiness. You choose how filthy you make stuff, so you can deep fry this if you should feel the urge - you make the decisions about what you shove in your gob, after all.
Anyway, two chicken bits is plenty per person. The other half prefers drumsticks, I like a thigh myself, works with other bits too, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
In addition to the chicken, for two people:
1 tblspn paprika
1 tblspn turmeric
2 tblspn gram flour (wheat free, but also makes it taste nice).
Stick the dry stuff on a plate and mix well.
1 egg, beaten in a decent sized bowl.
I skinned the chicken, but you don't need to, then dip in the egg to cover, then the dry stuff. You can repeat this if you like to get a thicker crust (there's plenty of dry stuff with this recipe, so you can do).
Then roast in the oven for approx 15-20 mins until the chicken is cooked through.
We has this with the coleslaw I made here and (with a fruity pudding) that was plenty. This would BBQ very well I suspect.... I tend not to season before cooking, and this needs a bit of pepper and salt (or sumac) and appreciated a quick squeeze of lemon too.
Finger licking good, apparently :)
