Ingredients:

12 chicken legs
12 chicken wings
600ml milk
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp paprika
250g flour liberally seasoned with salt and black pepper
groundnut oil

Method:

Separate the thighs and drumsticks from the legs then whisk the spices into the milk, pour into a bowl, add the meat and refrigerate to marinate for at least 24 hours.

When ready to cook, drain the chicken (reserving the milk) and dip it all over in the flour. Then dip in the milk solution and dip once again in the flour to ensure an even coating. Lay the chicken pieces on a wire rack and leave for half an hour.

Pour a 3cm layer of oil in a wok and heat to a low heat. Place the meat in this, creating an even layer (but don't put the pieces too close). Cook slowly, turning the meat occasionally, until the coating is golden brown and crisp all over.

Serve with chilli marmalade as a dipping sauce.
