Time 2h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 quart buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, and place them in a deep-sided baking dish.
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, hot pepper sauce, and 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the chicken, stir to coat all sides of the chicken pieces, and cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 2 hours to marinate.
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk mixture, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining buttermilk mixture.
  • Place the flour, 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste in a large plastic zipper bag, and shake well to combine. Place 2 or 3 pieces of chicken at a time into the plastic bag, and shake well to coat the chicken pieces with seasoned flour.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Gently place chicken pieces into the hot oil, and fry until chicken is cooked through and golden brown, 8-10 minutes (breasts and wings) or 13 to 15 minutes (thighs and drumsticks). Drain the fried chicken on paper towels.

Great for feeding a crowd, simply kick back, enjoy and relax this fried chicken recipe with homemade slaw

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 skinless chicken thighs
8 skinless chicken drumsticks
200ml milk
200g self-raising flour
large pinch each paprika , turmeric and cayenne pepper
6-8 tbsp groundnut oil
mustard slaw and paprika wedges, to serve (see recipes below)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the chicken in a bowl and pour over the milk. Tip the flour and spices into a large plastic bag and add a large pinch of salt and a good grinding of pepper.
  • Heat half the oil in a large frying pan. Take half of the chicken out of the milk, shake off any excess and put in the bag of seasoned flour. Hold the top closed and shake well. Lift the pieces out and shake off any excess, but don't do this too hard or you'll end up with no coating. Lower the pieces into the oil and fry on each side until golden and crisp - don't overdo it as the chicken is being baked next and will brown further. Use tongs to turn the chicken and try not to tear the coating. Transfer to a rack set in a roasting tin. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • Bake for 30 mins until cooked - check one drumstick and one thigh with a skewer - cook for longer if you need to.
