Ingredients
- About 10 chicken pieces to fry - thighs drumsticks, breasts, etc
- Salt
- 4 Large eggs
- ⅓ cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Corn starch
- ½ cup Millet flour
- ½ cup Sorghum flour
- ¼ cup White rice flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Dried sage
- ¼ teaspoon Paprika
- ¼ teaspoon Onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
- Arrange chicken on a baking sheet, season well with salt and place in the fridge - uncovered - for one hour.
- In one large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk, set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients until well combined. Lightly dredge all rested chicken in flour mixture, shaking excess flour mixture back into the bowl.
- Measure about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of buttermilk/egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to work the moisture in to the dry mixture, creating some small lumps throughout.
- One piece at a time, dip chicken into egg mixture, and then into flour mixture. Press flour mixture firmly against the chicken to adhere, arrange on a baking sheet. Once all chicken has been dipped and coated, allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat oil 325 degrees F (165 C) You can use a deep fryer, or a heavy pan. If not using a deep fryer, use a deep, heavy pot, filled to at least 3" deep.
- Once oil reaches temperature, fry chicken in batches until nicely browned and crispy. This should take between 10-14 minutes, depending on the size/type of chicken pieces. Allow oil to come back up to temperature between batches.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a plate or pan lined with paper towels, to soak up excess oil.
- Serve hot!
