Place the chicken into a bowl and cover with the milk and yoghurt, refrigerate for up 6 hours.  
Mix all the dry ingredients together to make up the spice rub.  
Preheat the oven on fan bake to 180°c.  
Remove the chicken from the yogurt and shake off any excess marinate. Place the spice rub onto a plate and roll the chicken around the mix until well covered. 
Heat a cast iron frypan with a good amount of oil (4 tbsp) Carefully fry the chicken pieces in small batches, trying not to over-crowd the pan.
