Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk (or regular milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 2 cups (500 ml) vegetable oil (for frying)
- ½ cup (120 ml) hot sauce (Franks RedHot or similar)
- ¼ cup (60 g) melted butter
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
- ½ cup (120 ml) BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsps honey
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup (60 ml) honey
- 2 tbsps soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Marinate: Whisk buttermilk and egg in a spacious bowl, creating a tenderizing liquid bath for the chicken pieces, ensuring complete submersion for 15-30 minutes at room temperature.
- Prepare Coating: Combine seasoned flour mixture in a wide, shallow dish, ready to transform chicken into a crispy delicacy by thoroughly dredging each piece, pressing flour firmly to create a uniform exterior.
- Heat Cooking Surface: Warm oil to optimal frying temperature, maintaining consistent heat to guarantee even cooking and golden-brown perfection.
- Fry to Crispy Completion: Carefully lower flour-coated chicken into hot oil, cooking until exterior turns deep golden and internal temperature signals thorough doneness.
- Finish and Serve: Transfer crispy chicken to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, then optionally toss in sauce or plate with preferred dipping condiments for a flavor-packed culinary experience.
Notes
- Maximize Marinade Absorption: Let chicken soak in buttermilk for full 30 minutes to ensure deep flavor penetration and maximum tenderness.
- Control Oil Temperature: Keep oil consistently around 350°F to prevent burning and achieve perfectly crispy, golden-brown exterior without raw interior.
- Drain Excess Oil Properly: Always use wire rack instead of paper towels to prevent soggy bottom and maintain crisp coating’s texture.
- Customize for Dietary Needs: Swap wheat flour with gluten-free alternatives like rice or almond flour for celiac or gluten-sensitive individuals without compromising crunchiness.
