Chicken Chops

Home made Chicken Chops have been my all time favorite snack. It is easy to prepare, healthy to eat and delicious in flavor. They can also be served as a starter for parties.

6.      Take them off the heat once they get a golden colour. (Image no. 4)

Serve it hot with “Maggie HOT & SWEET” ketchup.
