Fried Chicken Wingettes

Pomme Frites

Grand Marnier Lemon Icing

Sauces and Garnishes

Method

Fried Chicken Wingettes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken wingettes and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Coat the Chicken

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Take the marinated wingettes and coat them in flour, then dip them in the beaten egg before coating them again in flour.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wingettes in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Pomme Frites

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin strips. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain and pat the potatoes dry, then fry them in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, immediately sprinkling with salt.

Grand Marnier Lemon Icing

  1. 6

    Make the Icing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, Grand Marnier, and lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency with additional powdered sugar or lemon juice as needed.

Sauces and Garnishes

  1. 7

    Serve

    On a serving platter, arrange the fried chicken wingettes and pomme frites. Drizzle the Grand Marnier lemon icing over the chicken and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with ketchup, hot sauce, and mambo sauce on the side.
