MARIADE
The key to the flavor is with a marinade made of homemade butter milk (Milk + Lemon Juice), sublime Spices, Ginger, Garlic, and Eggs. The chicken should be marinated all day (or at least 4 hours) to incorporate the “oh wow!” tastes and moistness.
COATING AND FRYING
The thighs are double-coated with Flour mixture and Marinade and set carefully in hot oil at medium heat (180 C). You want to achieve a dark golden brown, but not a dark brown, while cooking the meat completely.

Sådan gør du
Mariner kyllingen
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the Whole Milk and Lemon Juice. Let sit for about 5 minutes. Homemade Buttermilk is ready.
- Then add in Dry Rosemary, Paprika, Salt, Cardamom powder, Garlic, Ginger, and Eggs. Whisk well.
- Cut the Thighs in large pieces and immerse completely in the marinade.
- Cover with plastic wrap. Cool in the fridge for 4 hours.
- 30 minutes before frying, remove from the fridge to bring it to room temperature.
- Transfer the Chicken to another bowl and reserve the marinade.
Coat the Chicken
- In another large mixing bowl, mix together All-purpose Flour, Cornstarch, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Fennel Seeds, Coriander Powder, Baking Powder, Salt and White Pepper. Set aside.
- On a cutting board, place one thigh into a clear plastic bag (or use cling wrap). Use a Meat Mallet to gently pound the meat into thinner slices. Repeat the procedure with the rest.
- Dip one thigh into the Flour Mixture and then dip it into the marinade. Then dip it in the Flour Mixture again. Coat well. Repeat with all the pieces.
Steg kyllingen
- In a large pot or a frying pan, add enough Oil for the meat to float. Turn the heat on medium.
- Use a thermometer. When the Oil reaches 180 C, add in the Chicken pieces one at a time. To keep the temperature steady, fry only 3 pieces at a time.
- It is important to maintain the Oil temperature at medium-heat. Fry the chicken on one side for about 5-6minutes. Turn and fry the other side for 5 minutes. The chicken will be a deep golden brown and perfectly done. The key is in the temperature of the oil!
- Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Repeat with the last 3 pieces and you will have a great entrée for two.
