Directions
This crispy chicken recipe was an absolute delight to make and obviously to eat. You would think that to make crispy chicken you need a fryer, but I have found a recipe that you can get the same effect but by using your oven. Not only is it easier to make, it is also a more healthier method but still just as delicious.
This recipe is paired with a post on ‘cross contamination of chicken’, this shows the importance of food safety in the kitchen and is vital to learn and understand.

When your chicken wings has had 30mins of cooking flip and continue to cook for a further 20-30mins till golden brown. ( REMEMBER to probe your chicken when finished cooking to ensure that it has reached 75° and higher) At the same time put your wedges in the oven and bake for 25mins and 3 garlic cloves in some tin foil to roast ready for my garlic mayo sauce later on. |

When the chicken and wedges are cooking prep your sauces - I chose a garlic mayo to make this take your garlic out the oven and crush in some mayo and set aside, ( You can also just use ketchup and BBQ sauce) |
