Greetings Steemit Iron Chefs,
Recalling my childhood memories always reminds me of fried chicken. Flavorsome, crispy, and juicy taste is so enjoyable. I demanded fried chicken almost every day and I was almost granted because I was a good boy then and favorite by my mother. Perhaps, it is still one of my favorites. So today, I'm going to make my childhood and all-time favorite fried chicken recipe.

- After 5 hours heat the oil in a deep pot.
- When the oil is ready reduce the heat to medium range and fry the chicken for 5 minutes on both sides and let it cool for an hour.
Notes:Cooling the the fried chicken let the moisture evaporates and doing the second fry makes the chicken extra-crispy.
