Ingredients

  • 1 kg Meat, chicken, loaves

  • 500 ml Milk, sour

  • 2 spoons Spices, paprika

  • pieces Spices, pepper, black

  • 1 spoon Spices, garlic powder

  • 1 spoon Thyme, fresh

  • 1 spoon Spices, onion powder

  • pieces Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • pieces Salt, table

  • pieces Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 0.5 piece Cabbage, fresh

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 1 piece Carrot, fresh

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 150 g Mayonnaise

Steps

  1. Rinse the chicken pieces under running water and thoroughly dry them with paper towels. Mix all the spices, except salt, well in a small bowl. Pour buttermilk into a large bowl and mix in half of the spice mixture. Place the chicken pieces in the marinade, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 60 minutes (or overnight).

  2. Remove the bowl with the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature to warm up. Meanwhile, prepare the cabbage salad. Clean and thinly slice the cabbage and onion, and coarsely grate the carrot. Toss the vegetables in a bowl and season with salt, vinegar, and sugar to taste. Mix well and refrigerate for a while.

  3. Pour flour into a shallow dish and mix it with the remaining spice mixture and salt. Coat each piece of marinated meat in the seasoned flour, dip it back into the marinade, and then coat it again in the flour. This ensures a truly crispy crust. Fry the breaded pieces until golden brown in heated oil (see tips). Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

  4. Take the bowl of seasoned vegetables from the refrigerator. Drain any excess liquid, then mix in the mayonnaise. Season the salad with lemon juice to taste. Serve it in bowls as a side dish to the fried chicken.

Advice

To ensure the chicken is well-cooked, especially near the bone, it should be fried for at least 20 minutes, turning it several times during frying. Remember that breasts cook faster compared to thighs.
