Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken

• 2 tbsp Springburst Piri Piri Marinade

• 2–3 tbsp water (for the marinade)

• 1 cup Springburst Mild Breading Mix

• 10 cups maida (refined flour) (to maintain the 1:10 ratio with the breading mix)

Method of Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine the Springburst Piri Piri Marinade with water to form a smooth marinade.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

Coat the chicken pieces evenly with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop.

Step 3: Prepare the Coating

Mix 1 cup of Springburst Mild Breading Mix with 10 cups of maida (refined flour) until evenly combined.

Step 4: First Coating

Dredge the marinated chicken pieces thoroughly in the breading mixture.

Step 5: Double Coat for Extra Crispiness

Dip the coated chicken pieces into cold water for about 10 seconds, then place them on a perforated tray or wire rack to drain excess water. Coat the chicken once again with the breading mixture to create an extra crispy crust.

Step 6: Fry & Serve

Deep-fry the chicken in preheated oil at 180°C (350°F) until golden brown, crispy, and fully cooked. Drain excess oil and serve hot with your favorite dip or sauce.

Chef's Tips

• Marinating overnight produces even juicier and more flavorful fried chicken.
