Hazard Fried Chicken!

Time for some birthday joy! It's Micky Hazard's 30th birthday!!

To celebrate I made up an easy and I guess balanced recipe for the good man himself!

You will need...



2 legs of jointed Chicken drumsticks and thighs (Free Range if you can, but get what you can afford? I won't tell)
Salt and Pepper
10 tbsp of plain flour
1 tbsp Cumin
1 tbsp Paprika
1/2 tbsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tbsp dried Thyme
1/2 tbsp Onion powder
1/2 tbsp Garlic powder
1 litre of Sunflower or Corn Oil

Well first take your chicken out and pat it dry...moisture will upset the hot oil. Now leave this to get at room temperature.

In a bowl, put all the flour and spices in then combine it all together; don't forget the salt and pepper!



Now in get your oil hot to 180 degrees (be bloody careful!) if you're using a large pan (big enough to fit all the chicken), put a lump of bread or potato in the cold oil and when they turn crisp and brown it's ready! Like this...



Now season your chicken pieces in salt and pepper then the flour and dust it liberally...shake off the excess and put this to side.


With a tong, put in each piece nice and slowly drop them in....you will need to keep an eye on this at all times! Turn them every ten minutes, twice.



When this is on it's second turn, preheat the oven to 180 and put the chicken on a roasting tin to just dry up and get a last crisping up!

When they are done, place onto kitchen foil and season nicely to taste! I served this with crispy onions, (to get these just throw some finely sliced onions in the flour mixture and deep fry while the chicken is in the oven) and a nice fresh salad....or Chips (Who am I kidding!)



Well thanks for reading, give it a try yourself? And if it's good tell me and send on a picture? @Spurs_Cook

Happy Birthday Micky! Hope you try the Chicken! And is this really you and Gazza??
