When I was in America last year I had the most amazing buttermilk fried chicken, so I wanted to try to make something similar. I used this recipe from BBC Good Food which turned out pretty well, but it wasn't anywhere near as nice as the meal I ate in Arizona!
You need:
chicken thighs and drumsticks
enough buttermilk to cover - probably one 284ml carton is enough for 2-4 people
1 onion
100g plain flour
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh thyme
Slice the onion, place in a bowl with the chicken pieces, season and pour over the buttermilk. Leave overnight.
Mix the spices - I used fresh thyme
Mix with the flour
Dip the chicken pieces in the spiced flour mixture
Heat 2cm of oil in a deep pan and when hot fry the chicken in batches until golden brown
Finish cooking in a preheated oven at 190C for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through
Definitely a tasty way to serve chicken!
