This chicken is delicious! Make more than you think you'll need, it WILL get eaten!
Chicken thighs or drumsticks (skin on or off)
Juice of a lemon
½ cup plain flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp garlic salt
½ tsp ground bay leaves
Sunflower oil for frying
1. Put the flour, cinnamon, garlic salt and ground bay leaves in a ziplock bag and shake lightly to mix.
2. Dip the chicken in the lemon juice, then place in the ziplock bag, shaking to coat in flour mix.
3. Use a frying pan which has a tight-fitting lid. Heat the oil. It should be 5mm/half inch deep and hot but not smoking.
4. Place the chicken in the frying pan and allow to fry for 5 minutes until golden. Turn over, allow it to fry for 2 or 3 minutes more, then cover (the lid helps the chicken steam as well as fry. It also stays juicy, rather than going hard and stringy).
5. Keep covered, on a medium heat, for 20 minutes, turning once.
Serve hot or cold.
(Sieve the cooled oil and use for other recipes.)
