Ingredients

  • 10 pieces of chicken legs
  • 1 ½ cups of Epis
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
  • 2-3 sprigs of thyme
  • Salt and pepper
  • Oil to deep fry

Instructions

  • Wash the chicken legs well, pat dry and set aside.
  • In a large bowl mix together the Epis seasoning, lemon juice, garlic powder, thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix well till all the chicken pieces are well coated in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you are making ahead, cover with saran wrap or place in airtight container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat oil in a deep pot. Add the chicken pieces slowly so that the oil doesn’t splutter. Don’t overcrowd, place only as much as can comfortably fry without touching one another. Let them fry for about 6-8 minutes. The chicken pieces should take on a nice deep golden color.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
