Instructions

  1. Mix all the seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl.

  2. I used skinless boneless chicken thighs as I think the flavor is better than breast. I equally divided the lemon pepper seasoning between each piece of chicken and simply rubbed it well on each side.

  3. I cooked them on a well seasoned  cast iron grill pan as you get the lovely grill marks on the chicken and a really nice sear on the meat.

  4. Cook time will vary depending on the thickness of the meat, but for boneless skinless chicken thighs it will take an average of about 5-6 minutes per side.

  5. NOTE - 1 tbsp lemon pepper in with the potato starch

stovetop

  1. chicken is about 150g per piece, 600g total

  2. dredge in seasoned flour, then sprinkle with a little more lemon pepper on each piece - 1 tsp per piece of chicken

  3. fry 5 mins per side
