frying chicken legs...in pan.
 

i have never done this before in my life. i left skin on....i forgot i don't have any nonwhite flour...so i'm stuck with just frying it in olive oil. medium heat....going for about 30 minutes now...with many turnings. anybody got any good recipes....chicken legs are fricken cheap.... :)

Beat an egg. Make some bread crumbs. Add salt & pepper to bread crumbs. Dip leg in egg, roll in bread crumbs, then fry.

also....i'm having a tough time tracking down nutrition info....i've got a package of five legs that weighs 1.5 pounds....so each leg is like .3 pounds. so each leg is almost 5 ounces. so how much of that five ounces is meat...and not bone?

I guess you'll have to cook one and pull the meat off to weigh it. Good thing I'm not there. I would eat all 5 of them while you were worrying about measuring them.

i know i almost ate all five :) but i got another meal to get in. i didn't want to wait for the first meal...but i'm gonna throw some in the oven in a bit.

i really need to buy that scale :)

You don't have a scale yet?

30 bucks and you'll have a decent one with grams and ounces. Go freaking buy one!! :biglaugh:

haha...i'm not THAT anal :)

...to use a scale?

It's not anal. It's about accuracy.

your accuracy is my anal :)

Oh gosh soooooo many things to type!!! LOL

Pity fry them legs till golden then throw in some onions peppers chilli and garlic cook until soft,add a tin of tomatoes and season to taste,let it simmer and thicken naturally for a good 30-40 mins and the meat will be super tender.I like it with rice.

Here's an Alton Brown video on cooking Coq Co Von, A.K.A. BOMBASSSSS CHICKN!!!! Alton Brown is my culinary hero... he's a little hokey, but he gives you the science behind the cooking which makes it easier to remember and translates better to other recipes.

Be forewarned, this dish is a time consuming recipe, but cook it once and you'll never forget how... a lot of steps, but pretty easy.

I promise you that any woman you cook it for will be hugely impressed and will probably give you some ass afterwards.:):)

i see alton all the time on iron chef...dude is weird.
