Don’t be afraid if it gets dark in colour.It isn’t burnt.If you take them out immediately they will still be raw on the inside.Don’t cook on an extremely high flame or them will turn black instantly and will be raw on the inside.

Pre heat an oven and keep the chicken in the oven to keep the warm.

Cook till they are nice crispy and brown. Don’t overload the pan with too many pieces at the same time and do small batches for even cooking.Remove access oil with a kitchen paper.

Hope you like the recipe.
