For the Chicken Skewers

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let any excess drip off. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Thread 3-4 pieces of chicken onto each wooden skewer.

  5. 5

    Fry the Skewers

    Carefully place the skewers in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried buttermilk hot chicken skewers warm, with your choice of dipping sauce or side.
