Editors Review
Craving for crispy fried chicken but are on a diet? Watch this video to see how Dr. Gong makes delicious crispy and crunchy fried chicken...in the oven! You will hardly make out the difference. You can literally hear the crunch when you bite into the chicken leg! Serve the fried chicken with some tangy, spicy mango and avocado salsa instead of calorie dense mayonnaise dip. These chicken legs make such a great family meal. It's so easy and fun that even kids can help make it!Chef
