The origin of fried chicken in the southern states of America has been traced to Scottish and West African cuisine. Scottish fried chicken was cooked in fat (though unseasoned) while West African fried chicken was seasoned (but battered and cooked in palm oil).

Cooking fried chicken in your own kitchen has never been so easy. The recipe involves all the basic steps in cooking fried chicken, such as coating the chicken, and frying. We season the fried chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder. However, only a minimal amount of time needed for this recipe.

How do you know your green beans are fresh? Break one in half. It should “snap”. If it bends limply like a rubber band, it’s not fresh. Only buy fresh. This stir fry cooks up quickly, with ground pork, onions, and garlic, and a sauce of sweetened soy sauce with vegetable oil. It couldn’t be easier! Just make sure you are using fresh and tender beans. (Older tougher beans won’t be cooked enough in the time it takes to make this stir fry.)
