Crispy Fried Chicken Steaks with Bechamel sauce, rice and fries.

Hello readers,
So alot has been going on, lots of changes lots of stuff happening, but what remained steadfast is my LOVE FOR FOOD.
And so I'm back with a very DELICIOUS and YUMMY recipe.

I think alot of people like me have a hard time following recipes to the exact.
I like adding stuff according to my own measurements, not using spoons and all.
You know... A pinch of this, a dash of that ;)
If you do get what I'm saying, then hurray you're going to love what I have in store. :D
The following recipe is a complete meal.
It's like those celebratory meals you prepare to treat yourself or/and your family.
Now some measurements I have written exact. The others I have played with a little, especially spices, so be free to adjust/omit them according to your taste, and have an awesome time cooking.

Like always I will be looking forward to lots of feedback from you guys.
And remember keep following us, lots of great stuff in store for you guys :)

The recipe is as follows,
Enjoy.

- Hot sauce
- 1 egg.

* Mix and coated everything well. The mixture should have consistency of a thick paste.
* Let it marinate for 24 hours or atleast 4 hours.

- 1 tbsp corn flour
- 1 tbsp rice flour
- 2-3 tbsp of bread crumbs

* Remove from heat when thickened.
** Keep stirring to make it smooth.

-> For Rice,
I just served it with steamed rice, you can always make a quick batch of garlic rice.
You can also omit rice if you're not a fan.

And that's it, pour the beautiful sauce over the crispy chicken steak just at the time of serving. Plate your rice and fries on the sides and voilà, excellent restaurant quality meal rigjt at your home :).

Sorry I hadn't dished out my rice yet, hence not seen in the picture.

NOTE:
* Please be careful when adding salt since all components contain salt. Don't make it too salty.
* You can adjust/add/omit spices as per your liking.

NEW ORLEANS CHICKEN: it's Finger biting good.

Hello readers, :)
As promised I'm trying my hardest to get my blog back on track. I know recipes days were Thursday but till I get my bearings straight let's go by the day shall we :D

So I'm starting off with the oldest recipe I have.
" NEW ORLEANS CHICKEN "
THIS basically made me fall in love with cooking. I've made it COUNTLESS times now, half of them have been for my brother only LOL.
It's extremely easy, quick and super delicious without any special ingredients.
It's a favourite at our place. I would love for you all to try and give me feedbacks and also share. :D
I would also love to give credits to the original owner but I honestly don't remember where I got it from, it's like that old , have added 2 extra ingredients to the recipe which I think was needed to customise it to our palates.
I've also written that it's a TGIF copycat recipe but I'm not too sure about the authenticity.
Anyways.. have an amazing weekend you guys, and do try this, it will seriously blow you away :)
