Ingredients for Mexico City Hot Chicken & French Toast

Method

Directions for Mexico City Hot Chicken & French Toast

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2

Coat the Chicken

In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the flour mixture.

3

Fry the Chicken

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken thighs until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

4

Make the French Toast

In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Dip each slice of ciabatta bread in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

5

Cook the French Toast

In a separate skillet, add a little butter or oil and cook the bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

6

Assemble the Dish

Place French toast on a plate, top with crispy fried chicken, drizzle with maple syrup, and serve with fresh fruit on the side.
