Chicken

Tortillas
Preparation of Chicken
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, pour buttermilk over the chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
2. Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. This will be your coating mix.
3. Coat the Chicken
Remove chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Coat each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
Frying the Chicken
4. Heat the Oil
In a large deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there’s enough oil for deep frying.
5. Fry the Chicken
Carefully place chicken pieces in the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
6. Drain the Chicken
Once cooked, remove chicken from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Preparation of Sides
7. Prepare Mashed Potatoes
Boil peeled and diced potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste.
8. Prepare Gravy
In a saucepan, heat gravy over medium heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
9. Prepare Coleslaw
In a large bowl, mix coleslaw mix with mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss until well combined.
10. Prepare Corn on the Cob
Boil corn in salted water for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and serve with butter.
Serving
11. Warm Tortillas
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
12. Assemble the Meal
On a large serving platter, arrange the crispy chicken pieces, alongside the mashed potatoes, gravy, coleslaw, corn on the cob, and warm tortillas.
13. Serve
Enjoy your 8-piece chicken meal while hot, allowing everyone to build their own chicken wraps with tortillas and sides.
