Instant Ramen Fried Chicken
Instant ramen fried chicken: It’s an *instant* classic. It’s soy good! Boyz II Ramen? Just be happy I’m not Fifty Shades of Chicken-ing you, okay.
In an ongoing effort to inappropriately batter, I made this instant ramen fried chicken recipe. I love to cook, but I am not above going to town on a bowl of noodles sprinkled with Maruchan Caviar (a.k.a. delicious MSG powder). Plus both ramen and fried chicken are trendy, so why not make this frankentrend of a dish? Join me for a bowl of monosodium glutamate in the culinary astral plane.
Instant ramen fried chicken is super fun and an easy recipe to make. You can batter fried chicken in pretty much anything. I encourage you to also try Cheese-It’s, corn flakes, etc.
This easy Instant Ramen Fried Chicken recipe uses the classic cheap instant ramen.
