Crispy KFC Style Chicken - no deep fat fryer!

Crispy chicken

Ingredients

1 whole chicken cut for saute pieces
1 1/2 ltrs Water
3 tablespoons Salt (for soaking)
250ml milk
1 egg, beaten
250g flour
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tbsp mixed dried herbs
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Soybean Oil for frying

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200oc/gas 5
2. Allow chicken to soak in salted water for a half hour.
3. Mix egg and milk in a shallow bowl. Mix flour, paprika, salt, and pepper in another bowl. 
4. Dry chicken with paper towels. Dredge in flour mixture, then place in milk/eggs and then back to flour mixture. Do this one piece at a time making sure that there is total coverage over entire surface of chicken in each step.
5. Place a good splash of oil in a large non-stick frying pan set on medium. 
6. Fry a few pieces of chicken at a time in the pan and colour all over. Place on a baking tray and cook for around 20 minutes, in the oven, turning occasionally.
7. As always with chicken, check the middle of a large piece to check the juices run clear. Allow to drain on paper towels when cooking is completed.
