6 Tbs fresh coriander — chopped
6 cloves garlic — cloves, finely chopped
2 shallots — finely chopped

Method:

Combine all the ingredients for the marinade and pour into a large Ziploc bag, pop the chicken into the bag, suck out the air so that all of the chicken is covered with marinade and put in the fridge overnight.

Mix all the ingredients for the coating, remove the chicken from the marinade and coat well into the spicy flour before putting back into the fridge for another hour.

Preheat the oven to 200 C.

Heat the oil but don’t make it too hot because you’ll only burn the chicken – when a breadcrumb sizzles it’s about right.

Fry the chicken until it’s golden and then remove it and put it on a baking sheet covered with a piece of parchment.

Now put in the oven and cook for about 15 – 20 minutes, no longer.

Serve with chips and cole slaw.
