Background

Going to university and living on campus has taught me a few things. Meat is expensive and being vegetarian is almost sustainable. However, I can't live without meat, especially chicken. So I had to find ways to eat meat for cheap but make it tasty. This recipe is as simple as fried chicken gets. I prefer this recipe with a side of fries because it reminds me of home and my mother's cooking.

Ingredients

2 Chicken Drumsticks
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
1 teaspoon Black pepper, Grounded
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil

Rub the salt and black pepper onto each of the chicken legs
Pour oil into a frying pan and heat the oil. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken gently into the oil.
Cook each side of the chicken for 2 to 4 minutes on each side.

Alternate Cooking Method

If you want to choose a healthier way to cook your chicken.You may choose to bake the chicken instead for frying it. Place the chicken on a baking tray. Drizzle olive oil (any oil of choice) onto the chicken. Bake it for 5 minutes or until crispy on both sides at 180 degrees Celsius.
