Poussin and Biscuit

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Marinate the Poussin

In a bowl, soak the poussin in buttermilk, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

2

Prepare the Tomatillos

Remove the husks from tomatillos, rinse them, and in a saucepan, add tomatillos, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Cook over medium heat until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

3

Make the Bourbon Maple Sauce

In a saucepan, combine bourbon and maple syrup. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.

4

Prepare the Biscuit Dough

In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until a dough forms.

5

Fry the Poussin

Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove poussin from the buttermilk, dredge in flour mixture, and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

6

Bake the Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out biscuit dough to 1-inch thickness, cut into rounds, and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
