Prep: 5min | Marination: 4h | Cooking: 30min
Complexity: 3/5
ingredients:
(serves 4)
800g deboned chicken thigh, or chicken breast cut into 5cm size pieces
sunflower oil
For buttermilk marinade:
500g buttermilk
1 tbsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp paprika
For flour breading:
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp paprika
method:
Combine buttermilk marinade ingredients and submerge chicken. Marinate between 30min and 4 hours.
Dredge the chicken into the breading mixture and place on a baking sheet to rest, 30min.
Meanwhile heat oven at 190°C.
Heat oil in a heavy-bottom pot. Once very hot, fry the chicken until golden on both sides, then place on a wire rack with a baking tray underneath. Finish the chicken in the oven for 30min (leave for an extra 10 if it isn't browning), flipping them over once.
