MAINS: Half a dozen of chicken legs with back attached
Quarter cup of flour
2 table spoon of chilli pepper
Half a teaspoon of salt
Table spoon of black pepper
Half a teaspoon of curry spices Half a teaspoon of brown sugar  3 medium eggs.

Preparation

1 PREPARATION: Wash and pat dry the chicken backs. 2 Cut the chicken so to separate the backs from the drumsticks and put chicken in a shallow dish. 3 In a small bowl mix the chilli peppers, black pepper, curry spices, flour salt and brown sugar. 4 Whisk the eggs together in a separate bowl. 5 Now take the chicken and dip in egg and the flour mixture . 6 Make sure that the mixture is evenly spread. This is important so you don’t miss any spots with the lovely mix. 7 Once you have done all these procedures, line a flat baking sheet with foil spray some spam on the bottom of the pan. 8 This helps the chicken from not sticking to the foil. 9 Place chicken evenly on the sheet. 10 COOKING: Heat the oven to 450 degrees F . 11 Once the oven is hot place the baking sheet in the oven. 12 Bake for 20 minutes and then take the chicken out and turn them over for it to cook evenly. 13 Place the baking sheet back and bake for another 30 minutes. 14 Take chicken out turn them over for the second time and then let it cook for another 10 to 15 minutes. 15 Once the 15 minutes is over the chicken should look all crispy, brown and ready to eat and enjoy. 16 Whenever I eat cook and eat this dish good old memories just rush back to me and for a moment I picture myself back on the island :)

About

This special dish brings back memories of good old times with family and friends from back home in the islands.
Chicken was and is a staple diet of the island and cooked in many different ways. You could have chicken curry, stews, roasts, and chicken fried rice just to name a few. The chicken dish I have always loved is southern fried chicken.
I named the chicken dish, southern fried chicken because I come from the southern side of the island and it is appropriate the name I think LOL.
The southern side is where the main city and the capital are and I enjoyed growing up as a city boy with southern roots.
This dish is a tribute to all the good days and fun memories I had with my family and friends. The beers and island cocktails we had under the coconut tree listening to island tunes and watch the island girls walking by to our whistles and smiles
O how I sometimes miss the island beats, sounds and the rhythms, it was something special, nothing compared to that feeling.
