Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons curry powder
3 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
3 whole chicken legs, cut into leg and thigh pieces
6 chicken breast halves with skin and ribs
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced shallot
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
3 cups (about) canola oil
12 cups baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Mix buttermilk, curry powder, 3 teaspoons salt, and pepper in large bowl. Add chicken; turn to coat. Cover; chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Remove chicken from refrigerator. Line 2 baking sheets with paper towels. Mix flour, chili powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in shallow dish. Mix tomatoes and next 3 ingredients in another large bowl.
  • Add enough canola oil to 12-inch skillet to reach depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over medium-high heat to 375°F. Remove 6 chicken pieces from buttermilk mixture. Dip in flour mixture and turn to coat; shake off excess. Add chicken, skin side down, to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; cook until brown, about 12 minutes. Turn chicken over. Cook uncovered until cooked through, about 5 minutes for breasts and 10 minutes for legs and thighs; transfer to paper towels. Repeat with remaining chicken. (Salad and chicken can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  • Add spinach to tomato salad; season with salt and pepper. Divide salad among plates; top with chicken.

I'm not a big fan of fried chicken, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the salad was refreshing.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. The salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The salad was a great complement to the chicken.

The chicken was delicious, but the salad was a bit bland. I added some feta cheese and croutons to give it more flavor.

This buttermilk fried chicken was a hit with my family! The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the spinach tomato salad was refreshing and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
