Crispy and crunchy bite-sized pieces of fried chicken which the whole family will love!
Anyone who knows me will know that I LOVE fried chicken! Nothing makes me happier than to see fried chicken on a restaurant menu, but as we haven’t been to a restaurant in the longest time, homemade fried chicken is a real treat at the moment.
The easiest fried chicken I know of making is this wonderfully delightful Japanese-style fried chicken called Karaage.
