Crispiest Buttermilk Fried Chicken Food

CRISPIEST BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix cold water and kosher salt together in a large bowl until salt dissolves. Add chicken legs. Cover entire bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.

• Heat canola oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fry chicken legs in hot oil in batches until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

OUR FAMOUSLY POPULAR ASIAN BUTTERMILK CHICKEN

Steps:

• Marinate chicken. In a bowl, mix chicken cubes, ½ tbsp salt, and 1 tbsp white pepper, 1 tbsp vinegar until evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for an hour. After marinating, crack an egg into the chicken mixture and mix well.
• Mix flour together. In separate bowl, combine ¼ cup corn flour with ¼ cup rice flour. Dip the marinated chicken pieces into the flour mixture until coated and dust off any excess flour. | To save time and add flavor, you can marinate the chicken one day in advance
• Fry the chicken. Place a deep pan over high heat and heat up enough oil to fry the chicken. Fry the chicken pieces for 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through and is golden brown on all sides.
• Fry butter, garlic and chili padi. In a separate pan on medium-high heat, fry 1 tbsp unsalted butter, chopped garlic and chopped chili padi for 1 minute until fragrant. | You can adjust the spiciness level of this dish by adding or removing the amount of chili padi, or just chop chili padi into smaller pieces
• Make buttermilk sauce and cook chicken. Add curry leaves and fry until fragrant before adding 1 cup of evaporated milk and ¼ cup condensed milk. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water in a cup before pouring it into the pan. Stir well until the buttermilk sauce thickens. When the buttermilk sauce thickens, remove the pan from the heat and add the crispy fried chicken. Mix thoroughly so that the chicken is well coated with the savoury sauce.

• 30 minutes before frying, remove the chicken from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature.
• Add the canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set nearby.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg whites, and vodka.
• Working with one piece at a time, coat the dry-brined chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture, then again in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Add 2-3 pieces of chicken to the hot oil and fry for 7-10 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil, transfer to the wire rack, and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Enjoy!

CRISPY BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut the chicken breasts in half crosswise with a sharp knife. The breasts are much larger than the other pieces, so cutting them in half lets all the pieces cook more evenly.
• Combine the marinade ingredients in a large dish and stir to blend. Add the chicken and coat it with the marinade. Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and let it air dry at room temperature for half an hour on a rack with a sheet pan underneath.
• Combine the seasoned flour ingredients in a shallow pan and stir to blend.
• Add the shortening or oil to the pan, no higher than half an inch deep. If you add too much oil, it could boil over when you add the chicken. (This isn't an issue if you're using a deep pot like a Dutch oven rather than a skillet, but there's still no need to use any more oil than you have to.)
• Heat the oil for 5 or 6 minutes, until it's at 350 F. It's best to use a thermometer to measure the temperature and be sure to use one that's accurate. If the oil isn't hot enough, the chicken will be too greasy.
• Dredge 5 pieces of the chicken in the seasoned flour and carefully add them to the oil. Cook for 10 minutes, then carefully flip them and cook for 10 more minutes or until the juices run clear and the breading is golden brown. Drain on paper, bring the oil back to 350 F and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.

CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season the chicken pieces with Essence. Pour 2 cups of the buttermilk over the chicken and cover with plastic wrap. Place the chicken in the refrigerator and marinate for 1 hour.
• Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and drain. Season the flour with Essence. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining buttermilk. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the chicken pieces back in the seasoned flour, coating each piece of the chicken completely. Carefully lay the chicken in the hot oil. Fry the chicken for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pour the buttermilk into a wide shallow dish and stir in the garlic. Slice the chicken into chunky slices, about 9.5cm long x 3-4cm wide. Lay the chicken in the dish and turn it over in the buttermilk so it is well coated. Leave in the fridge for 1-2 hrs, or preferably overnight.
• Meanwhile, heat a large, non-stick frying pan and tip in the panko crumbs and flour. Toast them in the pan for 2-3 mins, stirring regularly so they brown evenly and don't burn. Tip the crumb mix into a bowl and stir in the paprika, mustard, thyme, chilli powder, pepper and a pinch of fine sea salt. Set aside.
• When ready to cook, heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Line a baking tin with foil and sit a wire rack (preferably non-stick) on top. Transfer half the crumb mix to a medium-large plastic bag. Lift half the chicken from the buttermilk, leaving the marinade clinging to it. Transfer it to the bag of seasoned crumbs. Seal the end of the bag and give it a good shake so the chicken gets well covered (you could do all the crumbs and chicken together if you prefer, but it's easier to coat evenly in 2 batches).
• Remove the chicken from the bag. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, then add the chicken pieces and fry for 1½ mins without moving them. Turn the chicken over, pour in another ½ tbsp of the oil to cover the base of the pan and fry for 1 min more, so both sides are becoming golden. Using tongs, transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining seasoned crumbs, oil and chicken.
• Bake all the chicken on the rack for 15 mins until cooked and crisp, then serve with the Crunchy coleslaw (see 'Goes well with', below right).

CAROLINA CRISPY BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of the milk with 3/4 cup of kosher salt and the sugar and stir over moderate heat just until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large, deep bowl and add the remaining 3 cups of milk. Add the chicken pieces and refrigerate for 4 hours. Drain the chicken, rinse and pat thoroughly dry. If you family or guests are salt sensitive be sure to wash the chicken thoroughly and pat very dry with paper towels.
• In a bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, 1 tablespoon of kosher salt (or less, up to you - I use a teaspoon), paprika, hot sauce and pepper. Whisk in baking powder and baking soda. Put half of the flour in a large bowl. Working with a few pieces at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour, tapping off any excess. Dip the chicken in the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off; return the chicken to the flour and turn to coat. Transfer to a rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more flour as needed. If the flour becomes too lumpy, sift it.
• Heat the oil in 2 large, deep skillets until shimmering. Working in batches, add the chicken to the skillets in a single layer, without crowding, and fry over moderate heat. Cover for the first five minutes. Uncover and cook turning occasionally, until deep golden and cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 160°.
• If it's frying too fast, reduce heat slightly. If it appears to retain grease, slightly increase heat.
• Drain the chicken on wire racks lined with paper towels and fry the remaining pieces. Serve hot or warm.
• NOTE: the key is to cover in the beginning to start the cooking process inside the chicken, but to uncover during the last part of the cooking time to get the outside nice and crispy and golden brown.

BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the buttermilk mixture in a bowl.
• Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours.
• When ready to cook, place all the Flour Mixture ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
• Remove one piece of chicken at a time from the buttermilk mixture, and dredge in the flour mixture. Repeat the process until all chicken pieces are coated.
• Pour the vegetable oil in a deep skillet, large pot, or Dutch oven. The oil should be about 1.5 to 2 inches deep in the skillet.Set the skillet over medium-high heat and heat the oil to 350°F. If possible, use an instant read thermometer to check the temperature.
• Add the chicken to the hot oil in batches, and cook until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°F, about 15 minutes. Flip the chicken halfway through cooking time.
• Once chicken is cooked through and golden brown, remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain.
• Serve immediately, or keep warm in an oven until ready to serve. Garnish with fresh chopped herbs.
• Notes: For best crunchy results, repeat the coating process for each piece twice to ensure the chicken pieces are properly coated.

CRISPIEST AIR FRYER SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE WITH BUTTERMILK

Steps:

• Season Chicken with cornstarch, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, dried thyme, and dried Oregano. Use your hands or a kitchen tong to coat each chicken piece with the spices.
• Now pour the buttermilk and hot sauce on the chicken. Coat your chicken pieces with buttermilk and hot sauce. Now again dredge your chicken into all-purpose flour.
• Now pop it in the freezer for about 45-minutes to 1-hour. This time will help the breading set onto the chicken.
• Grease the pan of the air-fryer with cooking spray or brush with vegetable oil generously. Also, brush oil on chicken pieces. Don't leave any dry spot on the chicken with flour.Add them in the air-fryer. Preheat your air-fryer at 350F OR 180C for 3-minutes. Now, cook these chicken pieces at 350F for 20-minutes.Don't keep them too close to each other. Leave some space for the air to circulate in the air-fryer. Check at the 12-minute mark and use a kitchen tong to turn it over. Make sure you don't disturb the breading on the chicken. So do it delicately. Check the temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer. If it reaches an internal temperature of 165F then it's done. If not, then continue to cook it for another 10-15 minutes. Timing will vary depending upon your Air-Fryer.
• Once they are done, let them cool down a bit. Serve with some hot sauce or mayonnaise or ketchup. I also like to squeeze some lemon juice on my chicken pieces for that extra juiciness.

KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a bowl. Add the buttermilk, salt, pepper and garlic salt. Mix together, cover and place in the fridge to marinade for at least 1 hour (up to over night)
• Preheat the oven to a low heat (to keep cooked chicken warm). Heat a large pan of vegetable oil (or preheat your deep fat fryer) until hot (you can test by dropping a small cube of bread in there, if it rises immediately to the top and starts to bubble rapidly, it's hot enough). You'll need at least 1 litre (4 cup) of oil.
• Mix together the crispy coating ingredients in a small bowl.
• Take the chicken out of the fridge. Lift a piece from the buttermilk and allow the excess to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the crispy coating mixture - ensuring it's fully covered. Place on a tray and repeat until all of the chicken is coated.
• Once the oil is hot enough, add in 5 or 6 of the chicken tenders. You can add more or less depending on the size of your pan, just be sure not to overcrowd the chicken.
• Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked in the middle. You can check this by cutting open a piece of chicken, if it's no longer pink in the middle, it's cooked.
• Place on a tray in the oven to keep warm whilst you cook the rest of the chicken. **If you want to ensure the chicken stays extra crispy whilst in the oven, see my 'Top Tips for Success' section in the post.
• Meanwhile make the sauce. Place the gochujang, honey, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, vegetable oil and sesame oil in a saucepan and stir together.
• Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
• Pour over the crispy chicken and carefully toss together, then top with the spring onions, chilli flakes and sesame seeds before serving.

CRISPY BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rub the chicken the marinade seasoning.
• Pour in buttermilk and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (overnight).
• Combine all seasoning and flour together.
• Coat the chicken with the flour and set aside (preferable in cooling rack) for around 20 minutes to make the flour sit in the chicken thoroughly.
• Heat oil up to 350F and preheat oven in 350°F.
• Cook the chicken until desired color (around 5-10 minutes).
• Put the cooling rack on top of the baking sheet.
• Take out chicken and bake until the chicken is cooked (around 5-10 minutes).

CRISPY FRIED BUTTERMILK CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Whisk buttermilk marinade ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
• Mix in the chicken thighs with this buttermilk marinade and wrap the top of the bowl with cling wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, even better, overnight.
• In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, unwrap the shortening and melt it completely using medium-high heat (or add cooking oil at least 3 inches deep and heat until the temperature is 350°F/175°C).
• Fry chicken thighs for 8-9 minutes on each side until brown on both sides. Don't overcrowd the pan as that reduces the temperature of the oil so I like frying 3-4 pieces at a time.
• Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reads at least 170°F/76°C to avoid biting into a blood-filled chicken. Yes I've been there.
• Once your chicken is ready, let it cool on a wire rack. Serve warm!
