Over breading will result in a gummy coating when you toss with BBQ sauce.

(to know if your oil is ready drop a pinch of flour in.

If it sizzles its ready!)

Coat the remainig chicken legs in flour and if your have room place in frying pot.

This will result in longer frying time and unevenly cooked chicken legs.

Fry untill your chicken legs are a nice golden shade and extra crispy.

7-10 mins either side depending on the depth of your frying pot and size of your chicken legs.

When done place chicken legs on a plate lined with a paper towl to drain the oil.
-
19
In a separate pot over low heat, or your you can use your frying pot.

(drain the oil out into a heat proof container and use a paper towel to whipe out the bottom of your frying pot.)
