With a sun dried tomato and basil garlic cream sauce

If you adore fried chicken and delicious Italian food, then this fusion recipe is for you. It’s simple to make, and without a deep fryer. Chicken thighs are used as they stay juicy on the inside and have more flavour. The chicken is dipped in egg, coated in a herb and spice flour mix, and shallow fried in a pan, using olive oil. It’s baked in the oven to finish cooking and to accentuate the crispiness.

While the chicken is cooking, a cream sauce is made with garlic, white wine, sun dried tomatoes, cheese and basil. The sauce is placed around the chicken so it says crispy. It’s then dipped into this delicious garlic cheesy sauce. What more could you want? Enjoy my Crispy Creamy Fried Chicken today!
