Charm City Southern Trio Ingredients

Method

Charm City Southern Trio Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix buttermilk, hot sauce, and salt. Add chicken thighs, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal, flour, black pepper, and paprika. Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Collard Greens

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add collard greens and chicken broth, cooking until greens are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Corn

    In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add corn pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and toss with remaining butter, sugar, and salt.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the fried chicken, sautéed collard greens, and buttered corn. Enjoy your Southern-inspired feast!
