Thanks for the recipe - tried it tonight. I had a couple of questions/problems with it, however.

I did four chicken quarters, to serve four people, and each quarter weighed 300g. Your recipe is for only 250g chicken, so that would make my dinner FIVE BATCHES of yours! That can't be right, can it? 250g of chicken is only seven ounces, including bones, so it's only really one generous portion. Do you really need one egg, a cup of flour, approx three bags of potato crisps, etc., PER PERSON?!?

It would also be handy if you gave the quantities of herbs, paprika, etc., to mix with the flour for the coating - I assume it's the difference between the overall ingredients and what went into the marinade. Although overall salt wasn't given so I didn't know how much should go into the flour.

However, after muddling through it tasted really good, so thanks for sharing! 8-)
