How to Make Arabic Chicken

  1. Clean and thoroughly pat dry 1.5 lbs of chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or breasts) with a kitchen towel.
  2. In a bowl, marinate the chicken with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, the juice of 1 large lemon, and 2 tbsp cornflour. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
  3. Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and fry, ensuring to turn them frequently for even cooking, until golden brown and cooked through (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  4. For parties, you can partially cook the chicken (to reduce cooking time on the day), then finish by baking it in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until heated through and cooked thoroughly (approximately 10-15 minutes).
