Southern fried chicken

350 ml

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Chop up the chicken into the desired size (i go for about 3cm chunks). Or if doing chicken thighs or drum sticks, leave whole, they will require a longer cooking time depending on size.

* Step 2

Put all the chicken in a bowl and cover with the buttermilk. cover the bowl and place in the fridge to marinade for at least 1 hour.

* Step 3

Mean while mix all the flour, paprika, breadcrumbs and salt and pepper together and place in a flat dish. This will be used to coat the chicken before frying.

* Step 4

After the chicken has marinaded take a large saucepan and place on a high heat with about 5 cm of oil in the bottom to heat. remove the chicken peices from the buttermilk and roll in the flour mimx until well coated.

* Step 5

Once the oil is hot carefully add the chicken to the pan (don't overcrowd it) and cover with the lid. Cook for about 3 minutes before turning and cooking for another 3 minutes. The chicken pieces should be golden brown and cooked through before serving.
