Categories     Chicken     Fry     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 skin-on, deboned chicken thighs
•4 cups buttermilk
•1 tablespoon hot sauce
•Fresh juice of 2 limes
•1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
•1 cup yellow cornmeal
•1/2 cup masa harina (see note above)
•1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•1 teaspoon baking powder
•2 teaspoons ancho chili powder
•2 teaspoons ground cumin
•2 teaspoons paprika
•1 teaspoon garlic powder
•1 teaspoon granulated onion
•1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•1 teaspoon granulated sugar
•Oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Place chicken thighs in a large bowl and add buttermilk, hot sauce, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. 2.In a wide, shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, masa harina, flour, baking powder, ancho chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, granulated onion, black pepper, sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt and whisk until thoroughly mixed. Drain chicken, reserving buttermilk marinade in bowl. Working with one piece at a time, roll chicken in the dry mixture to coat. Return chicken to buttermilk marinade, then coat once more in dry mixture. Transfer chicken to a wire rack set above a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken, then let stand 15 minutes. 3.In a large wok or cast iron skillet, heat 2 inches of oil to 375°F. Working in batches and turning occasionally, fry the chicken until exterior is deep golden-brown and the internal temperature registers 150°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Oil temperature will drop when you add chicken, so adjust heat to maintain 350°F frying temperature during cooking. Transfer fried chicken to a paper towel–lined plate to absorb excess oil. After draining, transfer chicken to a clean wire rack set over a clean baking sheet. Let cool to room temperature; set frying oil aside.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and they cooked through in about 20 minutes. I also added a little bit of cayenne pepper to the breading for a little extra kick.
