Marinate chicken pieces in lemon juice, garlic, onion, and spices for at least 30 minutes.

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one for cornmeal.

Dredge each marinated chicken piece in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, coating well.

Roll the chicken in cornmeal until fully covered.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.

Remove chicken and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Garnish with parsley and serve with hot sauce on the side.

Enjoy with rice or a fresh salad.
