Instructions
- In a large bowl add the chicken, then squeeze the lemon juice into the bowl and add the rind and enough water to cover and salt. Give it a bit of a stir using your hands and cover with cling film and leave to bathe for 1-2 hours.
- Drain the water from the chicken and top with fresh tap water and pour off again to remove any lingering salt.
- Season the meat with black pepper, salt, paprika, garlic and dried herbs. You can leave to marinate for an additional hour or continue the remaining steps and cook immediately.
- In a large bowl add; flour, cornflakes or breadcrumbs, black pepper, salt, paprika, and mix to combine.
- In another large bowl add; eggs, milk, salt and black pepper. Beat the mixture to thoroughly mix all the ingredients.
- Add the chicken to the flour mixture and thoroughly coat with the flour mixture coating on all surfaces.
- Pat the chicken pieces gently while holding over the bowl, to dust off any excess flour.
- Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture coating all surfaces, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
- Return the chicken pieces to the flour mixture and coat all surfaces a final time before placing them on a non-stick baking sheet or one that you have lined with greaseproof paper or baking foil.
- Place the tray with the chicken into the refrigerator for an hour. Preheat the oven about 10 mins before taking the chicken out.
- Place the baking tray with the chicken pieces into the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 mins until cooked and golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve hot.
