Fakeaway Fried Chicken 

Over at Slow Cooker & Recipes 4 Friends members share recipes they find online and have tried themselves.

This week one of our regular contributors shared a recipe from the popular Nicko’s Kitchen Facebook page for a Fakeaway Fried Chicken, a copy cat version of a very popular take away fried chicken.  Needless to say it was a bit of a hit and members eagerly posted their versions of the deep fried, spicy crumbed chicken.

This is my variation.  I added ginger and parsley to my herb mix to ensure a tasty, herby crumb.

Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken Breast Schnitzels, cut in half
  • 2 cups of plain flour
  • 1 tsp each of salt & pepper
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp ground chilli
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 1 tsp dried ginger
  • 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
  • 1 tsp dried sage leaves
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Combine flour, herbs and spices and combine together with a fork
  2. Mix buttermilk and egg and whisk lightly until combined
  3. Dip chicken pieces in flour mixture, then into egg mixture and then into flour mixture again
  4. Once all pieces of chicken are coated place in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour
  5. Pour enough vegetable oil into a saucepan or deep fryer and heat oil to 190-200c
  6. Test oil is hot enough by dropping a small cube of bread into the oil, if the bread rises to the surface and the oil bubbles then oil is the right temperature
  7. Gently add chicken pieces and deep fry until golden and crisp, about 8-10 minutes depending upon the size of the chicken pieces
  8. NOTE: If the oil temperature is too low the chicken coating will become soggy, too hot and the crumb will cook but the chicken wont
