Flavorful Fried Chicken legs

NOTE:The key to this dish is infusing the chicken with flavor before frying. I noticed once day when i had bought breaded wings from a restaurant depot store that the wings were precooked before the breading was placed on this is what made it so quick to cook. so i decided to try that method  but with flavor.I hope yo u enjoy this!
