Cooking Instructions

  1. To make the dipping sauce, melt the honey in a small pot on a medium heat.
  2. Add the Sriracha sauce, soya sauce and lime juice, and stir until the mixture bubbles gently. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  3. Toss the chicken pieces in a bowl with the buttermilk, Sriracha sauce, Sriracha seasoning and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  4. Heat 3 cm of vegetable oil in a large, deep pan over a medium heat until it is hot but not smoking.
  5. Mix the flour, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and the garlic powder in a shallow bowl.
  6. Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk mixture, drain off the excess liquid and roll them in the flour mixture. Shake off the excess flour.
  7. Place the chicken pieces in the hot oil and fry them in batches for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Drain the chicken pieces on paper towels.
  9. Serve the fried chicken hot or at room temperature with the Sriracha honey dipping sauce and the crunchy summer salad.
