Fried Spicy Chicken
6 servings
30 minutes
Fried spicy chicken is a harmony of flavors that combines intense heat, tender meat, and a light sweetness of maple syrup. This recipe draws inspiration from European culinary traditions, blending classic cooking techniques with a rich spicy paste. Marinating the chicken in a zesty mixture and then baking it to a golden crust creates a dish with crispy skin and juicy texture. Its rich flavor is complemented by the freshness of green salad that balances the spiciness. Perfect for a cozy dinner or an impressive treat for guests, this dish awakens the appetite and leaves a lasting aftertaste. Serving such chicken with a side of roasted vegetables or a light sauce makes it even more exquisite.
