• MORE INFORMATION
• Basic Mixing Ratio: Mix the spice blend with regular all-purpose flour at a ratio of approximately 1:4 (spice blend to flour) or to taste.
• Chicken Preparation: Dice chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces (approximately 1-1.5 cm cubes). For best results, marinate the chicken pieces in buttermilk (or yogurt as an alternative) with a pinch of salt and pepper for at least 1-2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Coating Process: After marinating, remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Toss in the prepared flour and spice mixture until well coated. For extra crispiness, some chefs recommend a double-dredge technique: dip in buttermilk again after the first coating, then back into the flour mixture.
• Cooking Method: Heat neutral oil (such as canola, vegetable, or peanut) to approximately 180°C (350°F) and fry the coated chicken pieces for approximately 2-3 minutes for small pieces or 4-5 minutes for larger pieces until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 75°C/165°F).
• Serving Suggestions: For the most authentic experience, as soon as the chicken is fried, dust the pieces with a small amount of the spice mix while still hot. Serve immediately with favourite dipping sauces.
