If you are cutting the meat yourself, make sure to remove any excess fat from around the edges of your chicken thighs.
1/4 cup flour
- Place the flour in a large plastic bag and add chicken pieces to it. Shake the chicken until all of it is coated with flour.
- Set aside
1 teaspoon salt
Salt is an important ingredient in this recipe, but you don’t want to use too much. Salt is a preservative and helps prevent meat from spoiling. It also helps draw the moisture out of the chicken, which makes it more tender. You can use regular table salt or kosher salt if you prefer a flakier texture on your chicken when it’s cooked (though we recommend using table salt).
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Pepper is a spice that is used to add flavor to food. It is commonly used in recipes, and it’s a common ingredient in many cuisines. How do you use pepper?
How much should you use?
The amount of pepper you add depends on your personal taste and how spicy you want the dish to be. Most recipes call for 1/4 teaspoon per pound of meat or poultry; however, some people prefer more heat than others! If this is the case with your recipe and family members aren’t fans of spicy foods (or if they have sensitive stomachs), simply add less than what the recipe calls for until they get used to eating spicy foods again–or just leave out altogether if necessary!
