Instructions

1 ✓

Wipe the legs completely dry, then salt them.

Tip: The meat will throw off the breadcrumbs during frying if the surface is wet.
2 ✓

Bread in the usual way: flour, beaten egg, breadcrumbs.

Tip: Shake off excess flour so the coating isn't thick and cloying.
3 ✓

Fry in medium-hot oil until golden brown (approx. 3-4 minutes per side).

Tip: It cooks very quickly! If you fry too long, it dries out and becomes tough.
4 ✓

Serve with fresh lemon.

Tip: Lemon juice is essential as it highlights the delicate flavour of the meat.
