Recipe's preparation

  1. Place all spices and herbs into tmx. Blitz on speed 10 for 30 seconds. Scrape down. Repeat. You are wanting a fine grind. Add flour and blitz on speed 10 for 20 seconds. Have a taste of your flour. You can tweak the quantities used to suit your tastes.  Add additional flavour of needed and blitz again on speed 10 for 30 seconds to ensure its well combined. If you feel the flavours are too intense you can add more flour.  Pour 1/3 of the flour onto a plate. Coat chicken pieces  in egg and then flour. I then put them in egg and then flour again. This gives it a real crispy coating. Double coating is the key. Place oil into pan on a medium heat. You need enough oil to shallow fry your pieces.
    Fry about 10 little pieces at a time. Don't overload the pan. Cook until white and cooked through. The time will vary on the size of your pieces but it was about 3 mins each side.  Just watch them.Drain on paper towel.

Tip

If you cant have eggs in your house buttermilk is a great substitute.
Rice flour can be used in place of plain flour. Results will differ slightly.

The coating is enough for three meals. Trust me, you want this coating in your pantry so stick to the full recipe and store the excess in an airtight container.

    Made this for the first time. It is now my 18 year old's favourite meal!
    I used the entire mix for one meal, so will make a double batch in the future. I can see this will now be a staple!
    Not sure if the tablespoon used in the recipe was a 20ml or 15ml. I used an Australian standard 20ml tablespoon but might try a 15ml next time as it was a little strong on the salt and pepper (I did double coat).

    I love love love this recipe!

    It is a staple in our house. I don’t double coat and comes out fine. I have tried it with cubes, strips and raw schnitzel and all work great. I even cook it in coconut oil and it gives it a lovely extra flavour. Thank you 😊
