Fried Chicken

There are some foods that I just can't go past without wanting to stop, sniff, do a mental calculation in my mind if I can afford the extra kilojoule intake, then ignore that and eat it anyway. Like fried chicken. 

Yesterday we had dinner with the family, and we deep fried taro and sweet potato chips. And since there was surplus oil, we made fried chicken as well. This is probably only the seond time in my life that I have deep fried meat at home. Not that it is a testament to my lack of participation in the kitchen, but it is because deep frying is just so.. messy! So, it is probably good that we fried at my MIL's house... :) 

She marinated the wings with salt, pepper, egg and soy sauce. Southern style buttermilk fried chicken would have tasted wonderful too! I covered it with corn flour and Gaz fried them. Knowing how terrified I get with oil jumping out of the wok and at me, he volunteered for the job... After doing a good job with about 30 wings, I think he can now qualify to work for Colonel Sanders. I wonder if they have staff discounts for spouses?
