Time 8h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups plain yogurt
1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
3 ½ cups whole milk
4 eggs
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
¾ teaspoon curry powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
3 cups peanut oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Spoon yogurt into a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and make sure it's coated in yogurt. Squeeze bag to remove excess air and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight.
  • Remove chicken from yogurt and discard yogurt. Rinse yogurt from chicken pieces and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Beat milk and eggs together until smooth. Mix flour, salt, pepper, curry powder, and paprika together in a wide, shallow bowl.
  • Dip each chicken piece into the milk mixture and immediately press into the flour mixture to coat completely; keep coated chicken on a plate while preparing the remaining pieces.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Gently lie chicken pieces into the hot oil, cooking in batches as needed to avoid overcrowding, and cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes per batch. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I'm not a huge fan of hoisin sauce, so I substituted it with a mixture of soy sauce and honey. The chicken still turned out great.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken didn't turn out crispy at all. It was still tasty, but not what I was hoping for.

The chicken was a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try brining it next time.

I had some trouble finding hoisin sauce, but I was able to substitute it with a mixture of soy sauce and honey. The chicken still turned out great.

The chicken was a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I'll probably use less chili sauce next time.
