CRUMBED CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS
10 or 12 Chicken Drumsticks - Skinned, washed and pat dried
You don't have to use Chicken Drumsticks. A whole chicken cut into pieces, Chicken Thighs or Wings will give you the same taste and result. However if you are using Chicken Breast, then there is no need to steam them. If preparing Chicken Wings, then reduce steaming time to 6 minutes.

DIRECTIONS
Make slits and prick chicken all over and then rub in lime and salt. Set aside for a few minutes while you prepare the marinade.
In a bowl, add soya sauce, vinegar, ginger powder, pepper and mustard. Stir to mix well.
Smear the marinade well over all the chicken pieces. Best to leave to marinate overnight in the fridge OR leave it to marinate for at least 2 hours in a cool place or in the fridge.
Pour water in a steamer and place a piece of aluminium foil over the steaming plate. Place on hight heat until water boils. Place the chicken pieces spaced apart and cover the lid. Let steam for at least 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the steamer and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, place the breadcrumbs, cornflakes, dash of salt and pepper and sesame seeds in a deep plate or a bowl. Mix to blend well.
Place some plain flour in a separate plate. Beat the egg in a bowl and set these aside.
Once chicken has cooled, dip each piece into plain flour. Roll it to coat well. Shake off excess.
Dip in beaten egg. Drip off excess.
Dip in crumb coating and make sure to roll it well to get an even coating. Pat the coating lightly to ensure it adheres well.
Coat the rest of the pieces in the same way and place on a flat dish. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a wok or a deep pan. The oil should not be very hot. Place a few pieces of chicken at a time in the oil. Flip them over after a minute. Fry until they are lightly golden brown in colour. Place on absorbent paper to drain off excess oil.
AND....Crumbed Chicken is ready to be served with Rolls, French Fries, Ketchup and Coleslaw. Or you can have it as it is. The choice is yours!!!
