After
a bit of a disaster in the kitchen the night before (which I obviously won't be
posting about!), I decided I needed to come up with a sure fire better half
pleaser. So I did fried chicken.
I
used chicken thighs which I cut into 3 pieces but you could use any part of the
chicken you like. I happen to think that
chicken thighs taste better and certainly are more likely to be succulent.
I
whisked an egg and crème fraiche until smooth.
I
dredged each piece of chicken in the egg mixture and then into panko (Japanese
bread crumbs) and then repeated the process so they were "double
dredged".
I
fried the chicken in a mix of olive oil and butter (lots of butter).
When
golden I popped them into a warm oven while doing the sides. I did grilled tomatoes – done in the low oven
just cut in half with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
I
slow fried some onion in butter/olive oil (what was left over from the chicken
with a little added in) and added a hint of golden syrup (you could use corn or
maple syrup) and a sprinkle of chilli flakes.
I didn't do any potatoes because the fried chicken was quite decadent enough!

My family would completely mutiny if I roasted the tomatoes as they ADORE them raw, but your onion recipe sounds delicious and versatile. Love the idea of adding chili flakes to an almost jammy onion side. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks also for keeping up with my blog, I really appreciate seeing your comments there.
I've been thinking about making some fried chicken and this sounds like a good recipe to try.
ReplyDeleteYum. I love fried chicken.
ReplyDeleteDid it taste as good as it LOOKS??
ReplyDeleteI have never been successful in fixing fried chicken!
So I just buy it already cooked - the few times we allow ourselves to eat it!!
It all looks very delicious ~~ thanks ^_^ (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I have vague recollections of trying to make a low fat version but it was years ago. Since then I just buy it.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of double dipping to make it extra crispy. Next time we do our fried chicken wings, I'll have to try it that way.
ReplyDeleteLooks so good, Carole! I'll have to double dredge next time, we love fried chicken.
ReplyDeletedouble dredge...how decadent!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how they would be in my oil-free 'fryer'
I would miss the butter...lol
That rich ...! I like!
ReplyDeleteThat's sounds like a dish to please anyone!
ReplyDeleteYummy, I need to make fried chicken!
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is a food more comforting than fried chicken. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

We southerners love our fried chicken and yours looks delicious and moist. You've brought back great memories this morning for me of my mother's fried chicken and Sunday dinners.

I loooooove fried chicken, so it's probably good for everyone involved that I don't go to the trouble of making it very often. I've never used Panko breadcrumbs, though - I shall have to try that variation sometime! Thanks for sharing your method!
ReplyDeleteYou can't live in my state unless you make fried chicken at least once a month!
ReplyDeleteHere's my first ever
Weekend Cooking: Paris in July. Hope you will stop by!

ReplyDeleteI like fried chicken, but I've never made it. The though of cleaning up all that oil is daunting.
