Fried Chicken
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, soak the organic chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
- 2
Prepare the Dredging Mixture
In another bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- 3
Heat the Duck Fat
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the duck fat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Dredge the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each breast in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the hot duck fat. Fry for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- 6
Drain and Rest
Remove the chicken from the fat and place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess fat. Allow to rest for a few minutes.
