| fried chicken with buttermilk and herbs |
|
I actually was trying to imitate original fried chicken from kfc. I adapted this recipe from various sources. Bad news was, it didn't taste exactly like kfc. Good news : my chicken tasted good ! I think I added too much herbs into the marinade. But it made the taste from the chicken stronger. The main ingredients you need are : 2.2 lb chicken Why buttermilk ? Soaking the chicken in Buttermilk tenderizes the meat of the chicken through the usage of protein enzymes activated that occur naturally in the buttermilk, which breakdown (tenderize) the cellular walls of the chicken meat itself. Similar to a common meat tenderizer you would use to tenderize a pot roast. The buttermilks natural flavor also imparts a unique taste to the chicken.These are two reasons why people have been soaking chicken in buttermilk for many, many years in the Southern Regions of America. Cover the chicken with the buttermilk and allow it to sit in your refrigerator over night. After you've soaked it overnight prepare your mixture for the chicken. Mix the herbs with salt, papper, baking powder and wheat flour. Cover the chicken with the mixture. Add chicken to hot pan and fry on 1 side for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown, and then use tongs to turn the pieces over and fry for another 10-12 minutes, again until golden brown. Be careful to keep the oil hot enough to fry the chicken, but not so high as it burns the chicken. Drain the chicken on wire racks lined with paper towels and fry the remaining pieces. Serve hot or warm. Tags:
