• This recipe can be baked, it will take a longer time to get it very crispy. I found the frying better and quicker if I am in a rush. It tastes the same to me. If you would bake them, place them in the oven and cook on 130 degrees C for 30 minutes (do not eat, they are not properly cooked yet) then increase the heat to 220 degrees C and bake for another 30 minutes
• According to feedback from my beautiful reader, she tried this recipe using chicken thigh and it worked. Kindly note that the cooking thigh will differ, ensure your chicken cooks through before serving.
