Tex's Chicken

Anyways, today, we had one of my favourite dishes, Tex's chicken :D I usually have this on Wednesdays when Justin and Hadi have Tae Kwon Do, but haven't had it recently, since they've been studying for exams...

Tex's chicken, is basically a chicken coating, like ayam goreng (fried chicken) punya flour, only well, its not. Instead of deep frying it, you just pop it into the oven to bake. I like to think that its healthier than chicken goreng because of this, but I don't think it is, really. Mainly because that the Tex's chicken (that is the name of the brand, by the way) is SO flavoursome that it MUST have a whole load of MSG and salt in it. In fact, the instructions say that for best results, do not use with salt. They probably don't want people to get a salt overdose :P

I think that almost anyone would like Tex's chicken. It is VERY yummy, almost as yummy as fast food chicken (and probably marginally healthier). I think that you should defnitely use chicken with skin for this one. The coating + skin = drooly happiness XD Even Justin (our resident health freak) admitted that he was "forced" to eat the skin for this one, coz it...was...just...too...flavoursome! Seriously, the best part is the outside.

I usually debone the chicken before coating it in the flour, but since I had to do it for three people this time, I couldn't be bothered. The end result wasn't too bad. The insides of the chicken were slightly....well, they just tasted like chicken, but the whole thing was more than edible. If you look carefully at the picture, at the left side behind the plate, you'll be able to see the Tex's chicken coating box, haha. Thought you might be curious to see how it looks like ;) Just look at how perfect it looks...all that crispy brown skin... It looks SO much liek fast food chicken! XD
