Here’s a delicious recipe for Chicken Brost, a popular crispy fried chicken dish:

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 1 kg chicken pieces (legs, wings, or breast, cut into desired size)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

For the Coating:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup cold water

For Frying:

  • Oil (for deep frying)

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
  • In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Add the chicken pieces and ensure they are well-coated with the marinade.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
  1. Prepare the Coating:
  • In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder.
  • Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, mixing until you get a thick, smooth batter.
  1. Coat the Chicken:
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
  • Dip each piece into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
  1. Fry the Chicken:
  • Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pot.
  • Fry until the chicken is golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove the fried chicken and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  1. Serve:
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, coleslaw, and fries.
