Hello my lovely readers, today I bring to you the way I do my fried chicken. Here is the chicken waiting to be slaughtered:
Ingredients needed:
2 pounds (or 1 kg) of chicken part of choice (or whole chicken)
5 cloves of garlic
Half an inch of ginger root
2 stems of herbs - 1 celery and 1 parsely
1 medium-sized onion
Half a teaspoon of white pepper
2 seasoning cubes (maggi)
Half a teaspoon of salt
Vegetable oil for frying
Wash your chicken, cut into desired pieces and dump in a pot:
Blend together spices, onion, green herbs and pour over chicken,
Season with salt and maggi and bring to a boil.
Now heat up oil in another pot. Then remove chicken from stock and fry in heated oil.
It is ready when the chicken is brown all around. Easy, isn't it?

Hello there! Thank you for your beautiful recipes. I just had a quick question... when boiling the chicken how much water do you add? I loved the flavour of the sauce but I found when I boiled and then fried the chicken it lacked flavour. How can I keep the bold flavour of the sauce through the boiling and frying process? Thank you 🙂

Hi Tiffany!
You raised a good question. You only need about a cup of water for the chicken. That way, the spices stay on the chicken. Another tip is if you boiled the chicken with much water, let it rest in its stock for several ours. Sometimes I place it in the refrigerator overnight. That way, the chicken absorbs all those lovely flavours.

Awesome! Thank you for the suggestion I will try it sometime this week :):)

Hi Mummy Precious,Im a little confused.....please do you put the chicken inside the refrigerator after seasoning and boiling it or just after seasoning it ?
Precious says
Keep it after seasoning so the spices can get into the chicken.
