I usually prefer baked chicken but when I crave for fried chicken this is how I do it. I like to season my chicken the night before so that it marinates well, but that's only if you have time. There are 2 ways I like to do this, I have both ways below.
Ingredients:
- 3 lbs of chicken(I use quartered leg chicken)
- 2 tablespoons seasoning salt(I use lawry's as always)
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons onga 3-mix spices(that is if you have, you can find some in some african markets)
- 2 teaspoons parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon crushed pepper(optional)
- 1/2 a gallon of oil
Ingredients 2:
- 2 onions
- 3 scotch bonnet pepper(jamaican hot pepper)
- 1 jalepeno pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons ginger
- 2 tablespoons seasoning salt
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon crushed pepper(optional)
Method:
- Wash and cut the chicken into two pieces (drumstick and thigh, that is if you are using quartered legs like I do), remove skin and fat(this is by choice only but I don't like my chicken with the skin on,it bothers me lol)
- Soak in water and a tablespoon of vinegar for about 10mins
- Season the chicken with the ingredients, making sure that every part of the chicken gets some of the seasoning, let it marinate overnight
- In a big pot, steam the chicken till its no longer, heat up oil in a frying pan and fry chicken until its brown(shown in the picture below)
Method 2:
- Start with step 1-2 in the first method
- Blend onions,pepper,ginger and ginger, season chicken with blended ingredients then with seasoning salt and remaining of the ingredients, let it marinate overnight
- In a big pot, steam the chicken till its no longer, heat up oil in a frying pan and fry chicken until its brown(shown in the picture below)
