Chicken • Chicken pieces – 1 kg • Salt – 1 teaspoon • Garlic powder – 1 teaspoon • Onion powder – 1 teaspoon • Paprika – 1 teaspoon • Black pepper – ½ teaspoon • Curry powder or thyme – 1 teaspoon • Ginger powder – ½ teaspoon
Marinade • Buttermilk or milk – 1½ cups • Egg – 1 large
Coating • All-purpose flour – 2 cups • Cornstarch – ½ cup • Baking powder – ½ teaspoon • Salt – 1 teaspoon • Paprika – 1 teaspoon • Black pepper – ½ teaspoon
Instructions • Wash and pat dry the chicken pieces. • Season chicken with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, curry or thyme, and ginger powder. • Mix milk and egg, then pour over the chicken and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor. • Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, paprika, and black pepper in a bowl. • Remove chicken from marinade and coat well in the flour mixture, pressing firmly so it sticks. • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. • Fry chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally. • Remove and drain on a rack or paper towel.
Extra Crispy Tips • Add 2 tablespoons of the marinade into the flour and rub it in before coating for extra crunch. • Do not overcrowd the pan. • Keep oil temperature medium so chicken cooks inside without burning. #happywivescooking #chickenrecipes #Chickenza
