The "beer chicken" !

At times when I am left with some leftover beer from last night's party i often make these. They are good for breakfasts, as well as for cocktail evenings. Here goes....

You will need:

Chicken drumsticks, about 10 or 12 of them

Flour, one and a half cups

Ginger garlic paste about a teaspoon or more

a mug of beer

salt and pepper to seasoning

a pinch of paprika

a pinch of turmeric powder

2 teaspoons of lemon juice

Oil for frying

How to do it:

In a bowl mix the chicken with ginger garlic paste, seasoning and paprika ans the lemon juice.

Let it sit in the fridge for an hour or so.

In another bowl, make a batter out of flour, beer and turmeric and some salt.

It should be of a "poridgy" consistency!

Then the next steps are real easy!

Dip and coat the chicken legs in the batter and deep fry them!

Enjoy.

The Chicken Salad !!

As I always do, I have another VERY easy recipe to share with you people..... This can be easily done with leftover chicken from last night. As a matter of fact, the chicken can be easily replaced with boiled shrimps.....

You will need:

a cup of boiled chicken/ shrimps

1 medium sized iceberg lettuce

2 small onions chopped

a few cherry tomatoes

1 and a half cup of mayonnaise

half a cup of single cream

salt and pepper for seasoning

oregano

How to do it:

Pierce the tomatoes, wash the lettuce in some cold water.

Lay some of the lettuce on a platter.

Mix the the rest of the ingredients in a different bowl.

Pour it on top of the platter and shove it in a refrigerator.

Enjoy.
