CRUNCHY CLOUD BURST FRIED CHICKEN
Ingredients
FOR THE CHICKEN MARINADE
- 6 pieces chicken thighs or drumsticks
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
FOR THE COATING
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
FOR FRYING
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken and ensure it’s fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off.
- Dip each piece into the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure a thick coating.
- For extra crispiness, dip the coated chicken back into the buttermilk, then into the flour mixture again.
- Fill a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer with vegetable oil. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
- Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Top with some hot honey sauce, fresh parsley and parmesan cheese!
