#Idcravings2 - Fried Chicken is universally popular and is loved by young and old alike. You can enjoy as an appetizer, snack or as a light meal with salad or soup as accompaniments. It is a great comfort meal to many and can be relished with tomato ketchup, green chutney or mayo.

However, in this recipe, I substituted plain flour with whole wheat flour. I also omitted the bread crumbs as I wanted a slightly soft exterior. It is a great kids meal and a party recipe too. Brush with some melted butter, which is purely optional and enjoy.
