Cooking Instructions

  1. Combine the buttermilk with the herbs, spices and salt. Add the chicken and cover well then allow to marinade for up to 24 hours in the fridge.
  2. When you are ready to fry the chicken, heat the oil in a pot.
  3. Combine the flour with the salt and smoked paprika in a bowl.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off the excess.
  5. Coat in the flour making sure the chicken is well covered. If you want, you can re-dip in the buttermilk and the flour to create a super crunchy coating.
  6. Fry the chicken in the oil until golden brown, crisp and cooked through.
  7. Remove from the oil, drain on kitchen paper and serve.
