Fried Chicken on a budget

Aloha Steemians

Good morning, afternoon and evening Steemians. Today I’d like to share one way to fry some chicken drumsticks on low oil and a small pot budget. Come on, there is such a problem with running out of frying oil and other times not having a frying pan big enough beyond two people servings. No worries, friends! I’m not a great cook or a food advisor but this is what I have in my kitchen.

I love cold fried chicken and rice in the morning and tonight I plan on frying me enough chicken to last for the next several days. So here is my strategy to fry some chicken with small amount of oil in a small pot.

#1: Marinade chicken

I cut three slices into each drumsticks for faster cooking time. Then all 14 chicken thighs are marinated in my secret spices for about twenty minutes before heading into the fryer at medium-high temperature. Nope, no flour....

#2: cramping the fryer

I did my very best to put all drumsticks into the fryer. One secret tip is to drop drumsticks end into the pan. Let it stand out as seen in the photo. In this way, all chicken are cooked evenly, thus making it very easy to flip it over without worrying about uneven cooking temperature.

#3. Fried chicken

I know it doesn’t look all beautiful and perfect but did you remember the part when I said that I have to make a few cuts into each thigh for faster cooking time?! Well, that is why the chicken looks the way that it does.

Trust me, I tried it out while hot off the small pot and oh my goodness; delicious!!! All I need now is some steam rice, some sliced tomatoes and suka vinegar dipping sauce. Oh, dang! I gotta go eat dinner right now.

Thank you for visiting. And as always, until we meet again, have a wonderful day.

Aloha Steemians!
