Crunchy Southern Deep Fried Chicken

Crunchy Southern Deep Fried Chicken

Ingredients

¼ cup of dry breadcrumbs
½ bunch parsley, chopped finely
1 cup flour
1 kg chicken wings or pieces
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper & black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 cups cornflakes
50grams/1.7 ozs finely grated cheese like reggiano or tasty
a little oil to drizzle or oil spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F and line 2 baking trays with parchment.

Marinate the chicken with salt and pepper.

Place flour in a shallow plate. Beat eggs in a wide bowl until well beaten. Place the cornflakes in a ziplock bag and summon up your inner Jerry Springer and bash at the cornflakes with a rolling pin.

Too lazy to find your rolling pin? Clench your fist and “hammer” it instead (which was what I’ve done).  Mix the cornflakes with the chopped parsley, breadcrumbs and parmesan and place on a large shallow plate.

Roll the chicken pieces in the flour, then roll them in the beaten egg and then the cornflakes.

Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then take the chicken out of the oven and drizzle a tiny bit of oil (less than a teaspoon per wing really) and then place back in oven and cook for another 20 minutes.
