Pan Fried Chicken
Ingredients
:
1 chicken breast and thigh, skin on
6 tbsp flour
1 tsp paprika
60 ml vegetable oil
salt and pepper
Preparation
:
Step 1 :
Mix the
flour, paprika, salt and pepper together in a bowl.
Coat the
chicken pieces well in the flour mixture, on both sides. Pat off the excess and
set aside.
Step 2
Add oil
to a frying pan on medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, place first the
chicken thigh,
then the
breast skin-side down into the pan. Let the breast slowly cook for about 6 minutes
and the thigh for 10-12 minutes, until brown.
Step 3 :
When the
sides turn white, turn the chicken over with your tongs. Reduce the heat
slightly and cook the breast for 6 minutes more. Remove and place onto a tray
lined with paper towel. The thigh will take longer to cook as it has a bone in
it, so cook it for 12 minutes more, then remove it and place it alongside the
breast.
Step 4
Make an
incision into the meat to check whether its done. The juice should run clear
without any traces of blood and the meat should be opaque all the way through.
Step 5
Your pan
fried chicken is now ready for the table. You can serve it with almost
anything, including vegetables, French fries, potato wedges or even on its own.
