This is a nice simple but flavoursome southern fried chicken recipe. Using an overnight marinade we find wonderful flavour development, giving rise for all the aromatics and earthy flavours to play their part. You can use this as a deep fried recipe or pan fry it to give a more healthy approach. Just be sure to adjust the cooking times. Either way, I very much hope you enjoy it.
