Quickly fry the sprig of rosemary and leave on a kitchen paper to dry
In a clean bowl, combine the flour and rosemary
Remove the chicken from the marinade and coat thoroughly in the flour mix
Deep fry for 3-4 minutes until golden and piping hot all the way through
Drain on a piece of kitchen paper, sprinkle with salt and tomato powder

The light lemony aroma works beautifully with the chicken as a refresher.
