Ingredients Overview

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s take a look at the essential ingredients you’ll need

1. 1 cup milk
2. 1 whole egg
3. 500 grams chicken drumsticks (5 leg pieces)
4. 2 tablespoons Laajawab Hot and Sweet Chicken Rub
5. 2 cups maida (all-purpose flour)
6. Cooking oil for deep frying

What makes this recipe unique is the Laajawab Hot and Sweet Chicken Rub, which contains all the spices you need, eliminating the need for additional seasonings like soy sauce, ginger garlic paste, or even salt.

Preparation Steps

Making Incisions

Start by making small incisions on the chicken leg pieces. This step is crucial as it allows the marinade to penetrate deeply, ensuring that every bite is  flavourful.

Preparing the Marinade

In a bowl, mix the following ingredients to create the marinade:

• 1 cup milk
• 1 whole egg
• 2 tablespoons Laajawab Hot and Sweet Chicken Rub

This simple yet effective marinade doesn’t require any additional ingredients. Mix well until fully combined.

Marinating the Chicken

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let the chicken marinate for 10-15 minutes. This short marination time is enough for the Laajawab Hot and Sweet Chicken Rub to infuse the chicken with its rich  flavours.

Coating the Chicken

Preparing the Flour Mixture

In a separate bowl, mix:

• 2 cups maida (all-purpose flour)
• 1 tablespoon Laajawab Hot and Sweet Chicken Rub

Make sure to mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning in the coating.

Coating Process

Take each marinated chicken piece and properly coat it in the flour mixture. After the first coating, dip the chicken in cold water, then coat it again in the flour mixture. This double coating technique is key to achieving that signature KFC style crispy crust.

Frying the Chicken

Oil Preparation

Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or large skillet. The oil temperature should be around 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.

Frying Technique

Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil. Fry the chicken on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature.

Serving Suggestions

Once the chicken is fried to perfection, drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve the hot, crispy chicken with your favorite sides such as fries, or a fresh salad. 

Conclusion and Final Suggestions

In summary, making KFC style fried chicken at home is easy and delicious with Laajawab Hot and Sweet Chicken Rub. The unique blend of spices in the rub ensures your chicken is packed with  flavour without the need for additional seasonings or even salt.
