To make the dry mix to fry the chicken –

- Here is a trick for you. You can do this easily by one simple process. Place the flour and bread crumb mixture in a large re-sealable plastic bag. and then add the chicken pieces into it. Then sealing the neck of the plastic bag, shake it until all the chicken pieces get coated with the bread-flour mixture.
Deep fry –
- Now heat some oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan and add the chicken pieces one by one into the pan when the oil is really hot.
- Fry them until the colour turns to a golden brown.
- Remove them from the oil and place them on a tissue paper to soak excess oil from them.
