Southern fried chicken

Ingredients

8 skinless chicken thighs
8 skinless chicken drumsticks
200ml milk
200g self-raising flour
large pinch each paprika, turmeric and cayenne pepper
6-8 tbsp groundnut oil
mustard slaw and paprika wedges, to serve (see recipes below)
Method

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the chicken in a bowl and pour over the milk. Tip the flour and spices into a large plastic bag and add a large pinch of salt and a good grinding of pepper.
Heat half the oil in a large frying pan. Take half of the chicken out of the milk, shake off any excess and put in the bag of seasoned flour. Hold the top closed and shake well. Lift the pieces out and shake off any excess, but don’t do this too hard or you’ll end up with no coating. Lower the pieces into the oil and fry on each side until golden and crisp – don’t overdo it as the chicken is being baked next and will brown further. Use tongs to turn the chicken and try not to tear the coating. Transfer to a rack set in a roasting tin. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
Bake for 30 mins until cooked – check one drumstick and one thigh with a skewer – cook for longer if you need to.

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup cooked rice
sliced cucumber
1 teaspoons fish sauce
pinch ground pepper
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 thinly sliced tomato
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 sprigs chopped cilantro Optional
2 eggs Optional
2 cloves minced garlic Optional
1 green onion Optional
1 lime Optional
1/2 chopped onion Optional
1/3 cup pork Optional
3 Thai chili pepper Optional

Recipe Method

If I'm having fried rice with fried egg, I start off with frying the egg first. That way, I don't have to clean the wok before working with fried rice.
Fried Egg:

This type of fried egg has crispy egg white. Add a good amount of oil into the wok. When the oil is hot, crack and drop the egg into it. Tilt the wok to one side and splash the hot oil onto the egg. When the bottom is brown, flip the egg over. When the egg is all golden brown, remove and set aside.
Fried Rice:

Heat is the key ingredient in making a great fried rice. Remember you are up against the restaurants' super hot gas stove. Heat up your wok until it's pretty hot. You'll need to work quickly with the hot wok. Have all your ingredients ready.
When the wok is extremely hot (smoking hot), pour in the oil and garlic. Stir quickly. Add any uncooked meat. (If you have cooked meat, add after the rice.) If you see that there is juice coming out from your meat and pooling on the bottom and not evaporating, your wok is not hot enough. Turn up the heat or cook the meat longer until there is no juice coming out. If your rice is cold, heat up the rice in microwave. Cold rice will cool down the wok. Fluff the rice into individual grains. Add the rice and stir to mix. Sprinkle the fish sauce and soy sauce and stir to mix again. Now the rice is coated with flavors. Add all the vegetables, except for green onion. Stir. Push the rice aside and make room for the egg. Add the egg and scramble the egg until the egg is all cooked. Add the green onion and sprinkle white pepper and stir. Turn off the heat. Set the rice on a serving plate. Sprinkle ground pepper and cilantro on top of the fried rice.
Serve hot with a wedge of lime, sliced cucumber, whole green onion and chili fish sauce. When in Thailand in a Thai restaurant, you may see green onions in a jar on the table. They are for fried rice and a few other dishes.
