Method

30 - 40 minutes


Step 1. The wet mix

  • Add your buttermilk to a bowl, then the dry herbs and mix together well.


Step 2. The dry mix

  • Add to a separate bowl, the flour and the dry herbs.


Step 3. Coating & Shallow frying the chicken

  • First I clean my chicken in water and lemon juice.

  • Now to slice your chicken into strips and add to the buttermilk.

  • Add to a frying pan or wok, your oil. for safety and due to shallow frying, I heat up on medium to high heat until the oil moves fluidly.

  • Now, one at a time, drag your buttermilk covered chicken strips through the flour mix. You may wish to put your flour on a plate instead of a bowl. Dragging the chicken will make sure you get that nice crispy coverage on your chicken.

  • Fry each piece until golden on each side, 5 to 8 minutes on each side. always check that your chicken has cooked through in the middle.

  • To remove any excess oil, place the chicken on wire rack, you could also place on kitchen towel paper.


Time to eat!


 

Tips

  • Delicious served with chips.

  • Cut into chunks if you wish to have a popcorn chicken style dish.

  • Delicious with or without condiments. Hot sauce and BBQ sauce are a great accompaniment.

  • Leave the chicken in the buttermilk overnight for a more developed flavour.
