Instructions

Prepare chicken marinade

Mix buttermilk with egg, vinegar, hot sauce and all seasonings to create a flavorful marinade.

5 min

Use a whisk to ensure all spices are evenly distributed in the marinade

Marinate the chicken

Cut chicken breast into burger-sized pieces and submerge in the marinade. Let it rest in the refrigerator.

30 min

Marinate for at least 30 minutes, but 2-4 hours gives even better flavor and tenderness

Prepare the dredge mixture

Combine flour, cornstarch and all dry seasonings in a large bowl to create the crispy coating.

3 min

The cornstarch is key for extra crispiness - don't skip it

Bread the chicken

Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture. Press to adhere.

5 min

Let the coated chicken rest 5 minutes before frying for better crust adhesion

Fry the chicken

Heat oil to 175°C and fry chicken pieces until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes per side.
