BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN



Buttermilk Fried Chicken image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (3 1/2 pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 cups buttermilk
Salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken, buttermilk and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate, 1 hour.
  • Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360.
  • Mix the flour, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Remove the dark meat from the buttermilk, shake off the excess and roll in the flour mixture. Shake off the excess flour, place in the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes (adjust the heat as needed). Drain on paper towels.
  • Reheat the oil to 360 degrees F. Repeat with the chicken breasts and wings, frying for about 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk helps tenderize the chicken and gives it a slightly tangy flavor.
  • Make sure the buttermilk mixture is cold: This will help the batter adhere to the chicken.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the batter tough.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to fry the chicken: This will help prevent the oil from splattering.
  • Fry the chicken in batches: Do not overcrowd the pot or Dutch oven, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • Serve the chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces for fried chicken include honey mustard, ranch dressing, and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Beer-battered fried buttermilk chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy, flavorful crust and tender, juicy interior, this chicken is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give beer-battered fried buttermilk chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
