Method

Fried Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In another bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring even coating.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

Curry Chicken

  1. 5

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until onions are translucent.

  2. 6

    Add Chicken and Spices

    Add the chicken pieces to the pot, followed by curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.

  3. 7

    Simmer

    Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 25-30 minutes until the chicken is tender.

  4. 8

    Finish and Serve

    Adjust seasoning if needed. Stir in chopped cilantro before serving.
