Name: Fried chicken
Ingredients: 500g chicken (whichever cut you like, I prefer legs and thighs as they are cheaper than breast but it works with any. If using breast then cut into smallish chunks to ensure they cook all the way through); 1 cup plain flour; 1 1/2 tsp Chilli powder; 1/2 tsp ground pepper; Enough oil to fry the chicken in, ideally needs to be enough that the chicken sits in about 1/2 a centimetre of oil. It's also nice to use butter or a mixture of oil and butter.
