Fried Chicken

          Fried Chicken is universally popular and is loved by young and old alike. You can enjoy as an appetizer, snack or as a light meal with salad or soup as accompaniments. It is a great comfort meal to many and can be relished with tomato ketchup or green chutney. 

           However, in this recipe, I gave a slight twist and substituted plain flour and bread crumbs with whole wheat flour and brown bread crumbs respectively. Hence the colour, but it turned out very yummy. It can be a great kids meal and a party recipe too. So check the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.
