From the Earth to the Table by John Ash with Sid Goldstein. This technique of steaming and then frying chicken is a traditional southern method.
Ingredients
- One 3 1/4 pound chicken shopping list
- 1 cup sliced onion shopping list
- 1 tbs chopped garlic shopping list
- 2 cups buttermilk shopping list
- 1 cup all-purpose flour shopping list
- 2 tsp kosher or sea salt shopping list
- 1 tsp freshly ground pepper shopping list
- vegetable oil for frying shopping list
How to make it
- In a soup kettle, bring 2-inches of water to a boil. Put the chicken on a rack over (not in) the water, cover, and steam until the chicken is firm and half-cooked (15 minutes).
- Cool the chicken and cut into 6 or 8 serving pieces. In a medium bowl, mix together the onion, garlic, and buttermilk. Marinate the chicken in the buttermilk mixture for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. In another bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Drain the chicken and then dredge in the flour and shake off the excess.
- In a heavy, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1/2-inch vegetable oil to 365 degrees. Add the chicken and fry over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Turn the chicken over and fry until brown, about 8 minutes more. Drain the chicken well and serve warm or at room temperature.
