There may be times when you crave for a particular food and just can't settle for anything else. Earlier, we could just go out to a restaurant or order in whatever we wanted to eat. But, now due to lockdown, we have to fetching everything we want from our own kitchen. Fried chicken lollipop is one of the best snacks that we love to order at a restaurant. The crunchy, crumbly skin enclosing juicy and soft chicken inside is something we all love. We can always make restaurant-like fried chicken at home, but it usually requires marination, which means we have to plan this meal in advance. However, for sudden craving that is not ready to subside and wait for those many hours, this recipe could really work.
Here is a fried chicken recipe that makes the same crispy chicken that we get in restaurants and can be made without leaving it to marinate for hours. This is a quick and easy recipe that you can make in less than 30 minutes!

Juice of half lemon
2 teaspoons oil for roasting

Step 3 - Roast the chicken along with the spice mixture for around 15 minutes till all the sides are well roasted. Let them cool down for few minutes.

Step 5 - Shake off excess bread crumbs and deep fry the chicken legs till they turn golden brown. Remember, to fry on medium flame so that you get enough time to cook the insides of the chicken properly.
