CHICKEN AND CHIPS

Hi food lovers

It's another new week with an exiting recipe.

Chicken and chips is on the menu today,yayyyy😆

My favourite meal any time any day,this meal gives me so much joy as simple as it is.

I know this is a starter for alot of people but it's a main meal for me.

So last week i made this chicken and chips for the family and it was so delicious,better than what I buy from eateries.

My sister even finished hers before I was done preparing😂😂😂she ended up eating her chips with fried eggs and was begging everyone for a taste of their chicken.

This shows how delicious the meal was

To make this easy dish,you will be needing....

INGREDIENTS
-Soft chicken(as much as you want)
-Irish potatoes(as much as you want)
-1/2 All purpose flour
-1 tbsp Suya spice
-1 tbsp curry powder
-1 tbsp ginger powder
-1 tbsp garlic powder
-1 tbsp thyme
-1 tbsp cameron pepper
-1 tbsp nutmeg powder
-1 onion(for marinating)
-Seasoning cubes
-Salt
-honey(for marinating)
-vegetable oil for deep frying.

PREPARATION
-Wash chicken Very well.

-marinate the chicken for 2 hours or over night,over night is better so the chicken can be tender and absolve all the flavours.

-Get a bowl,mix the flour with suya spice,curry,thyme,ginger,garlic,nutmeg,Cameron pepper seasoning cubes and salt,set aside.

-Get another bowl,break an egg,add a pinch of salt and set aside.

-Get a piece of chicken deep in the egg then cover with the flour mixture,do this till you are done with all the chicken.

-Heat up a dried pan,add enough oil to deep fry,allow it to be very hot then start frying the chicken.

-Reduce the fire to the lowest so it can cook gradually,remember you are actually cooking the chicken so if the fire is too high,the outside will cook quickly and the inside will be uncooked.

-If a fork pass through the chicken easily,then it is ready.

Note-marinating is to season chicken,beef or fish,with different spices,onion,seasoning cubes,salt,oil and honey,cover then place in the fridge to stay for 2 hours or over night.Over night is better so it can absorb all the flavours.

The honey is optional,I just love sweet and spicy chicken.

FOR THE CHIPS
-Wash the potatoes
-peel
-Cut with a chips chopper or a knife
-Drain with a filter
-Salt and deep fry till it's crispy.
-Your chips is ready.
