    Fried Chicken Recipe to Love

    Okay, we get it...everyone loves Kentucky Fried Chicken fried chicken, but this chicken recipe is homemade and it is delicious. We'd choose our Ginger Fried Chicken recipe over Kentucky Fried Chicken any day of the week and twice on Sundays. But...don't take our word for it. Try it out and see what you think of this delicious flavor.

    If you want, you can pair the fried chicken up with our Copycat Kentucky Fried Chicken Coleslaw how to make deep fried chicken. See, you're still getting in some of that KFC craving.

    We'd probably follow this tasty dinner up with a Banana Cream Dessert, or maybe an Apple Pie. Either one will have you licking your fork to savor every last bite.

    delicious ginger chicken recipe

    Who doesn't enjoy a good chicken leg? As a child, that was always my favorite piece of chicken to have. Maybe it was because it was easy to hold on to, or maybe it was because of the juicy taste of the dark meat eaten off the bone. Either way... you know that you're going to get a delectable dish each and every time you make fried chicken with chicken legs.

    Whether you're making fried chicken for a crowd, or a small family, we're sure you will enjoy this recipe every bit as much as we did.
