Ingredients
1kg Thighs and drumsticks

300ml Buttermilk
1 tsp each of the following – ground black pepper, paprika, garlic granules, onion granules.
1 tbsp All purpose seasoning
1/2 tsp Salt
30ml Dill pickle juice
1 tbsp Mustard
For the coating – combine
1 1/2 cups Plain flour
1/2 cup Potato starch
1 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp each of the following – dried oregano, dried thyme, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic granules, onion granules..
2 tsp Chicken stock powder
For the glaze –
3 tbsp Unsalted butter
80ml Buffalo Sauce
60ml Honey
1 1/2 tsp Chilli flakes (or to taste)
Method
Step 1 – Prep the chicken. In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients for the marinade and stir to combine! Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and let it marinate for at least 3 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking
Step 2 – In separate bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the coating. Place a piece of chicken into the dry mix and toss to coat well. Now place it on a rack or plate. Continue with the remaining pieces.
Step 3 – In a large saucepan/ fryer, on high heat, add enough oil for frying (1 litre does the job). Once the oil reaches 175C/ 350F, place in a piece of chicken, it should sizzle, now add more pieces, making sure not to over crowd the pan. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side. Do this in batches. Place on a rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 75C/165F).
Step 4 – In a small pan, on low heat, add the butter, once melted, the chilli flakes and sauté for a minute, now add the buffalo sauce and honey. Mix well and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Step 5 – Brush on the fried chicken and serve with your favourite sides! Enjoy!
