Fry the chicken
-
Place the frying pan onto a medium high heat. Allow it to warm through and add the oil. Place first the chicken thigh, then the breast skin-side down into the pan. Let the breast slowly cook for about 6 minutes and the thigh for 10-12 minutes, until brown. When the sides turn white, turn the chicken over with your tongs. Reduce the heat slightly and cook the breast for 6 minutes more. Remove and place onto a tray lined with paper towel. The thigh will take longer to cook as it has a bone in it, so cook it for 12 minutes more, then remove it and place it alongside the breast.
