Fried Chicken: How to Make Tasty Fried Chicken

---

Fried chicken is extremely easy to make and full of flavor.

Nigerians and some Africans fry their chicken differently when compared to the typical Western method.

In Nigeria, the chicken is fried without all the accompanying fanfare of flour, bread crumbs, etc like the Kentucky fried chicken

It’s simply boiled with spices and seasonings and then deep-fried.

The holidays have begun!  You can feel the festive atmosphere everywhere!

With the sound of Jingle Bells, New Year discounts, and sales at every shop, you cannot help but notice the change.

Notwithstanding all the commitments, we still managed to take our children and friends to the mall to spend some time together.

Taking pictures next to the giant Christmas tree and golden chariot with a lot of store-bought gifts is a must!

And of course, the kids didn’t forget to visit Kentucky fried chicken (KFC) for their favorite chicken fried rice!

However, if there’s any recipe most people crave and would like to prepare, it would be KFC’s delicious, tasty, crispy chicken.

This crispy chicken is, however, simple to make at home and the ingredients are accessible.
