However, I decided not to bake or roast chicken today and my mouth was itching for some fried chicken. So since, I was have 4 chicken drumsticks, I decided to do some frying on my own. As you can see below, I used a small pot (to nicely fit my 4 pcs of chicken) and less oil - just enough to half cover the chicken. I will have to flip the chicken to fry it evenly but that's ok. It is home-cooked and I feel less guilty about the oil :)
I used salt, pepper, a dash of soy sauce and oyster sauce as marinade for chicken.
For the batter, I used 2 TBSP of flour, 1 tsp of corn starch mixed with 1 egg and 1 cup of water. Add salt and pepper too.
After I marinade the chicken for at least 1/2 hr, I heat up the oil in pot. Make sure oil is really hot before putting in the chicken. I dip the chicken in batter and put into oil. No matter how tempting, do not turn the chicken first. Let it fry for 5-8 minutes before turning.
My fried chicken is no KFC but it was fast and simple and I can have fried chicken within minutes!

Hi Mikky - Thanks. it is simple and tasty. but I will still go for KFC once in a while.
wow, golden colour. I cant do that. Most of my fried food turn dark brown or black.
Hi Molly - adjust the heat, make sure oil is very hot in the begining but turn it down soon after cos if not, the outside will brown quickly but the inside is not cooked yet.
