πΏ Fresh herbs (such as parsley or thyme), chopped
π 1 lemon, juiced

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 350Β°F (175Β°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!
