- Toss the chicken thighs into the flour and spice mixture to lightly dust, remove from the flour and place on one side. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, shake off any excess then put it back into the flour mixture to coat - it is best to do this stage one piece at a time, otherwise, you will get very messy!!
- Heat a pan of vegetable oil about 2cm deep to about 175C, or when a piece of bread browns within 30 seconds when popped in.
- Add 4 chicken thighs and fry for a few minutes on each side, or until golden brown the oil should only come just halfway up the sides of the chicken.

- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for about 20 minutes.The smell will be really tempting, but try to resist because they‚ will burn your mouth if you eat them straight away!
