I have made a homemade kfc style recipe keeping in mind the ingredients that should be easily available in India.
To make this chicken recipe it requires lots of italian herbs like basil, oregano, white pepper, thyme, paprika powder etc which are easily available in Indian grocery stores.
These herbs when mixed with Indian spices give out amazing juicy flavor to the chicken.
This is a homemade crispy fried chicken recipe which I thought to share during the auspicious month of ramadan so that my blog readers can try and enjoy this dish as an iftar snack recipe.
This recipe needs either chicken legs or chicken breasts that are marinated in some indian and italian herbs and spices and then dipped in egg wash, coated with flour and deep fried.

It does not take much time and is quite a very easy recipe. Below are the recipe details shared along with the written and video procedure on how to make kentucky fried chicken.
