Take 3 tbsp of flour, 1tsp of cumin, 1 tsp of chili powder, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 1 tbsp of garlic powder, and mix all the spices with the flour together.

Don't be scared to get your hands dirty, as you will need to. 

Place in fridge over night.  

4. The next day. Pour your vegetable oil in a skillet. And fry the chicken in SHALOW OIL (don't deep fry). Fry in medium heat for 6 minutes on each side, or until chicken is golden brown in color. Then remove chicken from the skillet and transfer it to a baking pan. In your skillet, melt knorr/maggi stock cube and your chicken seasoning in the oil that was used to fry your chicken. Pour oil stock over the chicken in the baking pan. Place chicken in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
