Fried Chicken And Potato Salad With Carrots Food

FRIED CHICKEN AND POTATO SALAD WITH CARROTS

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the yogurt, cumin, Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons Tabasco, and salt and black pepper to taste, add the chicken and combine the mixture well. Let the chicken marinate, covered and chilled, for at least 8 hours or overnight. In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the potatoes for 4 to 6 minutes, or until they are just tender, transfer them with a sieve to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking, and drain them well. In the boiling water cook the carrots for 2 to 4 minutes, or until they are crisp tender, drain them, and plunge them into a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking. Drain the carrots well and in a bowl, combine them with the potatoes. In a large plastic bag combine the bread crumbs and the chicken, drained, shake the bag to coat the chicken with the bread crumbs, and transfer the chicken to a rack set in a jelly roll pan. Chill the chicken uncovered for 30 minutes. In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, white pepper and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons Tabasco, add the olive oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in the parsley. In a deep skillet heat 1 1/2" vegetable oil to 375 degrees. Fry the chicken in batches for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until it is no longer pink inside, and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. To the potato mixture ass the chicken, scallions and dressing and toss well. Do not finish making the salad more than 1 hour in advance.

FRIED PEANUT-CRUSTED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the buttermilk marinade: Stir together the buttermilk, soy sauce, ginger and garlic powder in a bowl. Pound the chicken to an equal thickness (no thicker than 1 inch; this helps it cook evenly.) Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, and turn to coat. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Make the pickled carrot-cucumber salad: Stir together the sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the carrots, cucumbers, radishes and green onions, and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (The flavors will improve with standing time.)
• For the peanut-crusted chicken: Pour enough oil into a Dutch oven to reach 3 inches up the sides. Heat the oil to 325 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Stir together the flour, garlic powder and ginger in a shallow dish. Lightly beat the eggs in a separate shallow dish. Combine the panko and peanuts in a third shallow dish. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Dip the chicken in the egg, then in the panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
• Fry the chicken in 2 batches, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to drain. Drizzle with the pepper jelly.
• To serve, spread the peanut sauce on the buns. Place a piece of chicken on each bun bottom. Top with the pickled carrot-cucumber salad, cilantro and bun tops. Serve immediately.
