Ingredients:

1. Chicken – 300 grams
2. Egg – 1 medium
3. Lemon – 1 small
4. Ginger Garlic Paste – 2 teaspoon
5. Bread Crumbs – 200 grams
6. Corn Flour – 1 tablespoon
7. Paprika – 1 tablespoon
8. Oil – 3 tablespoon
9. Butter – 1 tablespoon
10. Salt – 2 teaspoon

Recipe:

1. Wash the chicken thoroughly under running water and trim any bits of bone or fat.
2. Prepare a marinade by mixing in lemon juice with corn flour, ginger garlic paste, salt and paprika.
3. Add the chicken and coat it nicely with the semi-dry marinade.
4. Whisk and add the egg in the end and mix it in well with all the pieces of chicken.
5. Set aside the chicken and let it marinate for a couple of hours or even overnight.
6. Spread the bread crumbs on an even surface and season it with some salt and paprika.
7. Add the marinated pieces of chicken in to the crumbs and coat them thoroughly.
8. Add oil of choice to a frying pan and let it smoke gently.
9. Shake off any excess crumbs of the chicken and lay them away in the oil.
10. Turn up the heat and let the breaded chicken fry for five minutes, flipping only once in between.
11. Once the chicken is fried, take it out of the pan and let it rest on some paper towel to remove excess fat.
12. In another pan, add butter and as it starts to froth, add the fried pieces of chicken.
13. Toss the chicken in the butter on high heat for a minute to give it a nice crunch and a glossy finish.
14. Transfer the chicken onto a plate and serve hot with ketchup and mayonnaise.

Extras:

1. Chopped herbs like cilantro, dill, chives or parsley can be added to the crumbs for additional flavors.
2. Squeeze over some lemon juice on the fried chicken to add a light citrus note to the taste.
