Ingredients

🍗 12 chicken thighs
🫒 Oil for frying
🧄 2 tablespoons garlic herb seasoning
🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
🌿 Fresh herbs (such as parsley or thyme), chopped
🍋 1 lemon, juiced
🍋 Lemon wedges for serving
🧂 Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1- Prepare the Oil:

• Pour enough oil into a large pan to fully submerge the chicken thighs.
• Heat the oil on medium-high until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

2- Season the Chicken:

• Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
• Lightly season them with salt and pepper to taste.

3- Fry the Chicken:

• Using tongs, carefully add the chicken thighs into the hot oil.
• Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cooking each piece for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown, ensuring they are thoroughly cooked inside.

4- Prepare the Sauce:

• While the chicken is frying, prepare the sauce.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine garlic herb seasoning, minced garlic, chopped herbs, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Mix well for a consistent blend.

5- Sauce the Chicken:

• Once the chicken is fried, remove from the oil and transfer into a large steel bowl.
• Pour the prepared sauce over the hot chicken, tossing gently to coat each piece evenly.

6- Serve:

• Arrange the coated chicken thighs on a serving platter.
• Garnish with fresh lemon wedges for an extra citrusy touch.
• Serve hot and enjoy!
