The Best Buttermilk Fried Chicken

Buttermilk fried chicken is a classic Southern dish that has been enjoyed for generations. The dish consists of chicken pieces that are coated in a buttermilk marinade, dredged in a seasoned flour mixture, and then deep-fried until crispy and golden brown.

The buttermilk marinade is an essential part of the recipe, as it helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor. The marinade typically consists of buttermilk, which is a tangy, acidic dairy product, along with various seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. The chicken is then soaked in the marinade for several hours, or even overnight, to ensure that it is fully flavored and tender.

Once the chicken has marinated, it is dredged in a seasoned flour mixture, which typically includes all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. The chicken is then deep-fried in hot oil until it is crispy and golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside.

Buttermilk fried chicken can be served in a variety of ways. It is often served with classic Southern sides such as mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and cornbread. It can also be served on a sandwich or in a salad.

Jamaican Jerk Chicken with a homemade Jerk sauce

INGREDIENTS

  • Pack of chicken thighs (or selection of your choice)
  • 2-3 scotch bonnet peppers (use habanero pepper for substitution)
  • ½ large red onion chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 4 stalks of scallion
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Jamaican allspice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 7 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • squeezed lime juice

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Clean the chicken, season with salt and set aside.
  2. Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until completely incorporated. Pour the majority of the sauce into a ziplock bag with the chicken. Save the remaining sauce for later. Let this marinate for 1-2 hours (it’s better if you allow the chicken to marinate into the sauce longer, ideally overnight).
  3. Grill the chicken on both sides until it’s cooked all the way through. Occasionally flip it on each side so you don’t burn the outside layer. It’s okay to have a nice brown texture on the outside.
  4. Once ready, remove the chicken from the grill. You can enjoy immediately or let flavors meld together for as long as you like.
  5. You can pick out the side of your choice with this dish. I made plantains with mine. If you don’t know by now I LOVE plantains.
