Why buttermilk for fried chicken? 

Homemade Buttermilk fried chicken tastes amazing, juicy and tender! There is also a science behind why buttermilk can elevate southern style fried chicken to the next level! 

What does buttermilk do to chicken

Buttermilk, which is traditionally made from lemon and cows’ milk, is used as a marinade to tenderise poultry and other meats. The science behind buttermilk is that it has an acidic and also creamy nature which breaks down the fibres of chicken or meat, resulting in tenderisation. Another benefit of marinating with buttermilk is that the flesh stays juicy and does not dry out as the acidity levels in buttermilk is quite mild.

How long to marinate chicken in buttermilk

You can marinade chicken for up to 3 – 4 days in buttermilk. The longer the chicken is marinating in buttermilk the more tender the chicken becomes and also takes on any additional flavourings added to the buttermilk even more intensely, as opposed to marinating chicken for 24 hours for example.

Do you wash buttermilk off chicken

When preparing fried chicken which has been marinating in buttermilk, you do not wash off the buttermilk before adding to flour. When preparing chicken pieces to be dredged in seasoned flour you just simply shake off the excess buttermilk before dipping into flour. You still want buttermilk on the chicken because as well as acting as a probiotic tenderiser, the buttermilk also helps the seasoned flour adhere to the chicken pieces. This will also help the chicken get really crispy whilst cooking.

Can I use milk instead of buttermilk for fried chicken

If you can’t get hold of buttermilk or would prefer to make southern fried chicken without buttermilk, you can definitely just use milk as an alternative. The crispy batter will be slightly thinner and lighter in texture compared to buttermilk as plain milk is quite thin in consistency. 

Where does southern fried chicken come from

Southern fried chicken is typically marinated in buttermilk before dredging in seasoned flour and then fried in oil. This delicious crispy fried chicken originates from the southern states of America.

What to serve fried chicken with?

Fried chicken is an amazing dish or appetiser eaten on its own! However southern fried chicken can be paired with so many other dishes or sauces. Here’s some ideas to pair KFC style chicken with a meal;

  • Fried chicken and gravy 
  • Fried chicken served with pickles
  • Great when served with French fries /chips 
  • Fried chicken and waffles 
  • Served with mac and cheese
  • Chicken in burgers is also a classic combination

What is KFC secret recipe ingredients 

One of the most sort after commercial culinary secrets is the KFC original recipe fried chicken recipe. The global fried chicken restaurant and take out brand is widely popular throughout the world. It’s said the secret recipe includes 11 top secret spices / seasoning to give the chicken its amazing moreish taste! Opinions vary on the exact recipe however I have tested and found the combination of spices below to get you pretty close to the notorious original Kentucky fried chicken flavour.

  1. Salt

  3. Dried Basil 
  4. Oregano
  5. Celery salt 
  6. Dried mustard 
  7. Paprika
  8. Marjoram
  9. Ginger 
  10. White pepper 
  11. Ground black pepper

What is seasoned flour

Seasoned flour is flour that has been mixed with herbs, spices and salt for extra flavour. Usually, all purpose flour/plain flour is used when making buttermilk KFC style fried chicken. By seasoning both the chicken, the buttermilk marinade and the flour you ensure the fried chicken drumstick, wings, breasts, etc. are packed full of flavour with every bite

How to season flour for fried chicken

Simply add spices, herbs and salt to flour and mix until fully combined. Seasoned flour can be stored in an air tight jar when made in bulk, ready for your next  fried chicken meal!

To achieve crisp delicious coating like KFC for fried chicken when cooking in an air fryer, follow the steps below; (for more detailed recipe steps including ingredient amounts, timing and temperatures please scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post)

  1. Preheat – Preheat the air fryer (if this setting is available on the model your using) 
  2. Buttermilk Marinade – Add the buttermilk, egg and hot sauce to a large bowl. Whisk until combined then add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl, stir and set aside to use straight away or for the best results marinate overnight in the fridge.

After the initial 10minutes of cooking stop the air fryer and turn the chicken drumsticks over to crisp up the other side of the chicken. Spray the chicken with oil to cover any flour patches. Then air fry for a further 7-8 minutes at 180c/350f degrees until cooked.

How does KFC cook their chicken 

KFC deep fry their chicken drumsticks in large industrial pressure cooker fryers, this helps give the chicken a super crispy skin whilst the chicken flesh inside remains very moist. The cook time is usually slightly less than a traditional deep fat fryer or shallow frying via a cast iron skillet. Although traditional fried chicken will always have a fatty nature due to the deep-frying cooking process, pressure frying is known to alleviate some of the greasiness.

Do Air fryers work for fried chicken?

Air frying is a great alternative to deep frying chicken. You can achieve pretty similar results to traditionally fried chicken. As well as being healthier due to; the reduced oil used during the cooking process & air frying negates the oil smells that can fill the kitchen when deep frying or using a cast iron skillet to make fried chicken.

How to make crispy fried chicken drumsticks in air fryer

Air fryers are such a great kitchen gadget for achieving crispy results without the hassle of deep frying or longer cook times via a traditional oven. There are a few key tips to achieving crispy, KFC style, Southern fried chicken drumsticks results when using an air fryer ;

  • Coating seasoned chicken in a seasoned flour dredge 
  • Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded with chicken. If there are too many pieces at one time in the air fryer the chicken batter will stick together. Also a steaming effect will occur resulting in soggy batter and you don’t want that! 
  • Generously spraying the chicken with oil to help the flour crisp up whilst cooking 
  • For the crispiest results I prefer not to use a greaseproof air fryer liner. When testing I found moisture would form at the base of the chicken pieces, making the KFC style batter slightly soggy. Most air fryer baskets are made from non-stick materials, so a liner is not required. Also, residual oil that releases from the chicken during the cooking process also helps prevent the southern fried chicken from sticking to the air fryer base.

How long to cook fried chicken in air fryer 

How long the cooking time would be for fried chicken in the air fryer will depend on the sizes of chicken you are using and whether or not the chicken pieces are on the bone. For my KFC style buttermilk southern fried chicken recipe, I air fry the chicken drumsticks for a total of 18 minutes, flipping the chicken over at the 10-minute mark. If you were cooking boneless fried chicken thighs or wings, I’ve found the timings in the air fryer are a lot less, for example between the 13-15 minute mark. (subject to the temperature you’re cooking at)

At what temperature do you cook fried chicken in the air fryer

I’ve tested multiple air fryer temperatures to achieve the best southern fried chicken results! The sweet spot in my opinion is 180c/350f, the chicken drumsticks, thighs, breast or wings cooked at this level achieve an even golden and crispy texture on the surface of the surface, whilst also being cooked in the centre. 

How to reheat fried chicken in air fryer

I love to use my air fryer to reheat KFC style fried chicken. Its way quicker than using an oven, results in even cooking and also eliminates sogginess that occurs when reheating fried food in a microwave. To reheat crispy fried chicken place the chicken drumsticks or other cuts of chicken into the air fryer basket, ensure you do not overcrowd!  Set the temperature to 180c/350f and air fry for 5-7 minutes.

Can you fry frozen chicken in air fryer

You most definitely can air fry frozen chicken in the air fryer. If you would like to reheat frozen pieces of KFC style buttermilk chicken place the chicken pieces back into the air fryer straight from the freezer. Air fryer for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, at 180c/350f.

#pizza  #pizzarecipe #bbqchickenpizza #easyrecipe
Sweet & spicy pepperoni pizza 🍯🌶️ on a piz Sweet & spicy pepperoni pizza 🍯🌶️ on a pizza stone — no pizza oven, just BIG flavor. Recipe below! ⬇️ Easy Pizza School starts here.

Ingredients
Pizza dough ball @allinsonsbread 
Pizza sauce @muttipomodorouk 
(Recipes videos for both are on my page 😊)

Pepperoni & salami
Jalapenos
Honey @rowsehoneyuk 
Mozzarella (low moisture if possible) 
Parmesan cheese 
Fresh basil
Freshly cracked black pepper
Burrata cheese
Extra Virgin olive oil @filippoberio_uk 
 

Take the pizza dough out of the fridge and leave the rest in a warm area/cupboard for 2 hours. After the first hour preheat your oven to its max setting, with the pizza stone inside on the highest shelf.  For reference my fan oven goes up to 270°C / 518°F .

Whilst the dough is rising, prep your topping ingredients and pizza sauce. Clean down a work surface and mix together equal parts of bread flour and fine semolina, for dusting. You can also just use fine semolina.

Flour your surface and hands: Lightly dust your counter, dough, and hands with flour.

Flatten the dough: Gently press the dough into a flat disc, working from the center out.

Stretch the dough: Lift and stretch using your knuckles or fingertips until it’s 10–12 inches wide.

Dust the peel: Sprinkle semolina on the pizza peel to prevent sticking.

Transfer and test: Place the dough on the peel and give it a small shake—if it moves freely, you’re ready to add toppings!

 Place a thin layer of pizza sauce & grated parmesan onto the dough, quickly, then use the peel to side the pizza onto the pizza stone. Bake for 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the mozzarella, peperoni, salami, jalapenos and a drizzle of olive oil. 

Place the pizza back onto the pizza peel and bake for a further 3 minutes. You can also use the broiler/grill setting for the last minute.

Take the pizza out of the oven and top with burrata, chopped basil, honey, grated parmesan cheese and black pepper. Slice and enjoy!

🍕 Pizza School: Episode 1 - Batch Pizza Dough r 🍕 Pizza School: Episode 1 - Batch Pizza Dough recipe! 

Ingredients 

- @allinsonsbread Time saver yeast or “instant (also called quick-rise or fast-rising) yeast” - 11 grams

- @allinsonsbread Very strong bread flour - 1Kg

- Extra virgin olive oil - 2 x tablespoons + extra for greasing @filippoberio_uk 

- Warm water - 840ml (millilitres) 

- Salt- 20g 

1) Mix together the dry ingredients into a large bowl (flour + salt and then mix in the yeast)

2) Measure out 840ml of warm water (approximately 40°C). The water should be luke warm and not too hot. Pour the water into a very large bowl and add two tablespoons of olive oil.

3) Add the dry ingredients into the warm water and oil mixture. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to stir until a shaggy dough forms. Cover the bowl with a warm/damp cloth and leave to rise for 30 minutes in a warm area in your house/kitchen.

4) Stretch and fold: after the first 30 minute rise, wet your hands with warm water and begin to stretch and fold the dough in a circular motion around the bowl. Cover the bowl with the dump kitchen towel and leave to rise for 30 minutes in a warm area. Repeat this process again and leave to rest for another 30 minutes. The dough will be sticky but don’t worry!

5) The dough should have doubled in size and you will see lots of air bubbles. With your hands and punch the air out of the dough. Lightly grease two large oven trays and a small plate (for your measuring scale). Pour out the dough onto one of the greased trays.

6) For individual 12 to 14 inch pizzas, divide the dough into 260g - 270g portions and place onto the empty tray (for large sheet pan pizzas, just divide the dough into two large pieces in total).

7) One by one stretch and fold the portions of dough on a floured surface. Flip over the dough, the surface should be a bit smoother on this side, then use the palm of your hand to cup and scrape the dough in circular motions to form a uniform dough ball shape. Use a bench scraper to help with this, if you have one.

Steps 8 & 9 will be pinned in the comments ⬇️☺️

cooking and style” Fei Xie, Head Chef at @pandas_kitchen.london 

Have you ever eaten a meal at a restaurant that changed your brain chemistry? So good that you had to go back the very next day and order your favourite dishes because the flavours were so sensational…… Well that’s what happened to me when I visited Pandas Kitchen Angel.

I love Chinese food as a whole, however I’ll be honest I’m not that familiar with each of the regional differences in the cuisine. I love to explore and expand my palette when trying foods from other cultures. So I definitely enjoyed spending the day learning more and eating with the kind team at @pandas_kitchen.london 

My two favourite dishes? 

🔵Salt & Peppers Chilli Squid, 椒盐鲜鱿- a burst of flavour in the seasoning spice and lightly battered squid. So fluffy and light in texture. A DREAM!

🔵Chong Qing Noodles,  重庆小面- a bowl of comfort to put it simply. The gentle numbing spice, soft noodles and bags of aromatic flavours in the cooking broth were incredible. I love BOLD flavours and this did NOT disappoint.

I love speaking to chefs and the teams Behind The Line in restaurants. So follow me for even more stories about the amazing chefs that make your food in London and beyond…..

RECIPE ⬇️ Easy 6 Ingredient Wingstop Original RECIPE ⬇️ Easy 6 Ingredient Wingstop Original Hot sauce 🔥 This is incredibly easy to make! Spicy, buttery and tangy flavour profiles! Pair with blue cheese sauce 👌🏾

Ingredients:
@franksredhot_uk hot sauce (original) - 300ml
Honey - 2 tablespoons 
Unsalted butter - 80g
Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon 
Onion powder - 1 teaspoon 
Smoked Paprika @schwartz.uk - 1 teaspoon

1) Place the butter into a small pan/pot, the heat should be set to a low to medium heat gauge on your stove.

2) Once the butter is melted whisk in the onion powder, garlic powder and paprika.

3) Once the spices are incorporated into the butter, pour in the franks red hot sauce and whisk/stir. Simmer on low for 5 minutes, then remove from the stove to cool.

4) Store the sauce in an airtight container and keep in the fridge. 

Tip 💡 The sauce will solidify slightly once refrigerated so it’s best to store in a container rather than a bottle. 

Tip💡 You can the scoop as much as sauce as you need, reheat gently and pour over your final dish e.g wings, tenders, chicken sandwich etc 

Tip💡The consistency and flavour of this original hot sauce is rich and velvety. For a thinner consistency gradually add water as you reduce the sauce in the pan.  Taste for seasonings.
