Easy Family Dinners – Fried Chicken Drumsticks in Ginger Gravy

By Rebecca Garcia

Tell me who doesn't like fried chicken? Though not so healthy, almost everyone I know simply can't resist a piece of juicy crispy fried chicken. For many people, fried chicken is a summer must-have. You can have it as main course, together with cream gravy and hot biscuits, or take it along on a picnic, accompanied with potato salad.

Well, today's fried chicken recipe is deliciously different! It's fried chicken with an Asian twist; we're going to marinate the chicken with fresh ginger, soy sauce and sherry, deep-fry until golden brown and serve with an extra spicy ginger gravy on the side.

It's a delicious, quick and easy, cheap and cheery meal for the whole family.
