Fried Chicken
Fried chicken has deep roots in Southern American cooking, shaped significantly by the culinary traditions of enslaved West African cooks, and remains one of the most beloved dishes in American food culture today.
Chicken pieces coated in seasoned flour and deep-fried until deeply golden and crackling — an iconic dish of Southern American cooking.
Ingredients
Method
Soak chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
Mix flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Dredge the chicken thoroughly in the seasoned flour, pressing to help it adhere.
Fry in oil at 170C for 15-18 minutes, turning occasionally, until deeply golden and cooked through.
The buttermilk soak both tenderises the chicken and helps the seasoned flour coating cling properly during frying.
