Method

Crispy Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Chicken

    Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in flour, coating evenly. Shake off any excess flour.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken thighs skin-side down. Cook for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Potato Puree

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cube the russet potatoes. Place in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 5

    Make the Puree

    Drain potatoes and return to pot. Add butter, heavy cream, and salt. Mash until smooth and creamy. Keep warm until serving.

Roasted Cauliflower

  1. 6

    Roast the Cauliflower

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until golden and tender.

Farro

  1. 7

    Cook the Farro

    In a medium pot, combine farro, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 25-30 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water.

Salsa Verde

  1. 8

    Make the Salsa Verde

    In a food processor, combine parsley, basil, capers, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
