Step by step cooking spicy fried chicken thighs, recipe with photo:
1. Wash and dry chicken thighs with a paper towel. Chop them into 3-4 pieces so that the meat roasts faster.
2. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it well. Then place the chicken so that the pieces don't touch each other. This will cook them well.
3. Fry the thighs over high heat until golden brown, which will seal the juice in them. Then season them with salt and ground black and hot red peppers. Cover the pan with a lid, turn the heat to medium and simmer the meat for 10-15 minutes. Check the readiness as follows: cut the meat with a sharp knife and look at the color of the juice. If it is transparent, then the meat is ready, bruised - continue cooking for another 5 minutes and taste again. But do not overcook the meat on the fire, otherwise the spicy fried chicken thighs will be dry, and to restore their juiciness, you will need to simmer in the sauce. Serve freshly cooked hot food to the table.
