About

Yet another take on spicy fried chicken, this one bordering on fiery, but with a pleasant, feathery crust from the eggs. Marinate for up to a day if you like.

You could serve this with almost anything, ranging from plain old cole slaw to Stewed Apples and Eggplant to any of the Indian breads.
