Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry chicken in a frying pan? You can use any part of the chicken for frying. I have a whole carcass. I cut it into 4 parts, removing the wings. It is convenient to fry chicken in such large pieces. An aromatic, spicy herb — oregano, good with many dishes. Young, healthy leaves are very rich in essential oils and vitamins. You can use dried herbs instead of fresh herbs.

Step 2

Step 2
Finely chop the oregano leaves and place in a small bowl to prepare the marinade. Squeeze the juice out of the lemon and add it to the bowl. Next add olive oil. Add garlic, passed through a press and a little salt and ground pepper. Mix all ingredients together.

Step 3

Step 3
Rinse the chicken under running water and pat dry to remove excess moisture. Then put it in a bag and fill it with the resulting marinade. Stir to distribute the marinade evenly throughout the chicken. Leave the chicken to marinate for 12-20 hours in the refrigerator. Stir it periodically.

Step 4

Step 4
For frying, take a comfortable, deep frying pan with high sides so that there are no splashes when frying. Heat it until hot and add the marinated chicken. Fry it over high heat on both sides for 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

Step 5
It will begin to brown during frying. Then reduce the heat and leave the chicken to fry over low heat for another 30-40 minutes. It needs to be turned over periodically so that it cooks more evenly. There is no need to cover it with a lid, otherwise it will begin to stew rather than fry and then it will not have such an appetizing crust.

Step 6

Step 6
When frying, use your stove as a guide. The finished chicken will be golden brown. If you pierce it with a knife, then light juice should appear from it. If the juice is pink, then itʼs not ready yet!

Step 7

Step 7
Place the finished fried chicken on a platter and serve! Enjoy your meal!
