As someone trying to get healthy I've craved southern fried chicken for months now as I've been on grilled chicken for too long. I randomly stumbled across this recipe and had all the ingredients so gave it a go. I don't think I'll ever buy or order ready made southern fried chicken again thanks to this recipe. It was so delicious and I added extra hot chilli powder to really spice it up. Give this a go people its a great guilt free healthier alternative to southern fried chicken.
