ASSEMBLE 3 DISHES LEFT TO RIGHT FOR THE DREDGING PROCESS. EGG MIX FIRST, THEN THE FLOUR AND SPICE MIX AND THEN A LIGHTLY FLOURED PLATE TO PLACE THE BATTERED STRIPS ON. DIP EACH STRIP IN THE EGG WASH, THEN THE FLOUR MIX, THEN REPEAT FOR A NICE CRISPY BATTER.step 3
) DEEP FRY THE STRIPS IN BATCHES FOR 7/8 MINUTES UNTIL COOKED THROUGH. SERVE WITH FRIES, SALAD AND COLESLAW. ENJOY!!step 4
Please note all the spices and herbs used are dry spices. Chicken thighs and drumsticks can also be used. Deep fry for 7 minutes then place the thighs on a wire rack and place into an oven at 210 degrees celcius for 25/30 mins to cook through. Turn the pieces a couple of times during cooking so batter remains crisp.
