I made this as a little experiment and it went down so well with everyone that I've decided to add it as a recipe.

This recipe is fairly healthy as it does not need to be [[Deep-fried|deep-fried]]. I've used [[Olive oil|olive oil]] but you could use any [[Vegetable oil|vegetable oil]]. If you do use [[Olive oil|olive oil]], as its smoke point is much lower that most [[Frying|frying]] [[Oils|oils]], so keep the temperature lower than you normally would, or put the smoke alarm in the garden!

Although the preparation time is shown as 4 hours, you could sacrifice the [[Marination|marination]] period if you were short on time.

I've used [[Tex-Mex mix]] for the seasoning, but in place of that you could just add a pinch of [[Chilli powder|chilli powder]] and any powdered [[Spices|spices]] that you fancy.

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Heat the [[Olive oil|olive oil]] in a [[Wok|wok]] or [[Frying pan|frying pan]]. Not too hot that it smokes.
| Add the [[Taco-mix|taco-mix]] (or your desired [[Spices|spices]]) to a bowl containing the [[Plain flour|plain flour]] and mix well.
| When you are ready to [[Fry|fry]] the [[Chicken|chicken]], add two tablespoons of [[Cornmeal|cornmeal]] to the [[Chicken|chicken]] pieces and shake really well to coat the chicken evenly.
| Beat the [[Egg|egg]] and add to a bowl.
| [[Dip]] each pice of [[Chicken|chicken]] in the beaten [[Egg|egg]], then coat coat with the spicy [[Flour|flour]] mix, then carefully add to the hot [[Oil|oil]]. Do this in two batches so you don't overwhelm the [[Oil|oil]] and kill the temperature.
| [[Fry]] for about 2 to 3 minutes, turning often.
| Remove the cooked [[Chicken|chicken]] with a [[Slotted spoon|slotted spoon]] and allow to drain on kitchen paper.
| Check the [[Chicken|chicken]] is properly cooked, though it should be fine as the pieces are very small and turning them ensures an even heat.
