KFC style fried chicken are loved by many but many cannot eat them as they are not available as ‘Halal’ outside Gulf.  I tried this recipe on my own and came out good.

Cook Tip: Instead of using corn flakes crumbs you can use bread crumbs. You can also use the cornflake cereal and roll them to desirable size, I prefer doing that.
