Notes

Seasoning The Chicken

You can choose either boneless chicken breasts or boneless thighs for this recipe, depending on your preference. To achieve maximum flavor in every bite we are going to create the perfect marinade for this chicken.

The not so secret ingredient! A couple dashes go a long way!

Yogurt tenderizes the meat. This is optional but a great tip to keep the chicken succulent.

Allow to marinate for at least one hour. Best results if left overnight.

Aromatic Dipping Sauce

This is a great base sauce to have with this chicken. Although it is filled with flavor, there is still enough room in there to experiment and add your own choice of herbs and spices to the mix.

Add dried powders and herbs to tomato paste

Roucou adds great depth of flavor to this dipping sauce.

Brown sugar balances the savory notes present in this sauce.

Angostura Aromatic Bitters adds layers of complexity.

Add a cup of water then simmer the sauce for 10 minutes.

How To Get Ensure Your Fry Chicken Is CRIPSY!

There are two key factors in getting your chicken really crispy. The first step is using cornstarch or potato starch to dredge your chicken instead of flour. The second part is double frying the chicken.
