Creating the Perfect Chicken Marinade for Frying
Essential Ingredients
To create a delicious and flavourful chicken marinade for frying, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Buttermilk or Milk: 1 cup
- Egg: 1 whole
- Salt: 2 teaspoons
- Black Pepper: 1 teaspoon
- Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Onion Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Paprika: 1 teaspoon
- Chilli Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Dried Thyme: 1 teaspoon
- Dried Oregano: 1 teaspoon
Step-by-Step Guide to Making the Marinade
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients and measure them accurately.
Step 2: Mix the Marinade
In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk (or milk), egg, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chilli powder, thyme, and oregano until well combined.
Step 3: Marinate the Chicken
Make small incisions on the chicken pieces to help the marinade penetrate deeply. Submerge the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavour.
Coating and Frying the Chicken
Step 1: Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of flour with additional spices such as paprika, garlic powder, and salt for extra flavour.
Step 2: Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then dip in cold water, and coat again with the flour mixture for an extra crispy texture.
Step 3: Fry the Chicken
Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
