Preparation
-
1.In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and drumsticks, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
-
2.In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
-
3.Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the flour.
-
4.Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry the chicken for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
5.While the chicken is frying, prepare the spicy garlic sauce. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, white vinegar, hot sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
-
6.Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve the Barberton Chicken hot, drizzled with the spicy garlic sauce.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Buttermilk — The acidity of buttermilk helps tenderize the chicken and adds a tangy flavor. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Hot sauce — Choose a hot sauce that suits your spice preference. Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the garlic sauce according to your desired level of heat.
- Vegetable oil — Use a neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point, such as canola or peanut oil, for frying the chicken. Make sure there is enough oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra crispy crust, double-dredge the chicken by dipping it back into the buttermilk and flour mixture before frying.
- If you prefer a milder garlic sauce, reduce the amount of hot sauce or omit it entirely.
- Serve the Barberton Chicken with a side of coleslaw and fresh bread for a complete meal.
- Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying the chicken to ensure a crispy exterior and fully cooked interior.
- Leftover chicken can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold the next day or reheated in the oven for a few minutes to regain its crispiness.
Serving advice
Serve the Barberton Chicken hot, drizzled with the spicy garlic sauce. Accompany it with a side of coleslaw and fresh bread for a satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the golden-brown chicken pieces on a platter, drizzle the spicy garlic sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. Serve the coleslaw in a separate bowl and place the fresh bread on the side for a visually appealing presentation.
