Fried chicken and corn fritters recipe

1. Dip the chicken portions in the milk. Mix the cayenne pepper and paprika with the flour. Coat the chicken. Chill for 30 minutes.

2. Heat the oil in a large frying-pan. Shallow fry each chicken portion for 10-12 minutes until crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm in the oven.

3. To make the fritters: mix together the sweetcorn, red pepper, flour, milk, baking powder, eggs and seasoning. Stir in the melted butter.

4. Heat more oil in a large friying-pan. Drop in tablespoonfuls of the batter, a few at a time. Fry for 5 minutes, turning occasionally until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat this process until you have used all the batter. Serve with the chicken portions.

Tip : Add more colour to the fritters by adding chopped green peppers to the batter mixture. Enjoy your meal!
