Ingredients

Directions

  • 1 whole halal chicken (1.5 kg/3.3 lbs), cut into 8 pieces
  • 500 ml (2 cups) buttermilk
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 300 g (2 1/2 cups) gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 liter (4 cups) vegetable oil for frying, ensure it’s certified gluten-free
  1. In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Submerge the chicken pieces, ensuring they're well-coated. Cover and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This step infuses the chicken with flavor and tenderness.
  2. In another bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly throughout the flour.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F). The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a small piece of batter is dropped in.
  4. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure a good coating.
  5. Gently lower the chicken into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain on a wire rack over a baking sheet. This step keeps the chicken crispy by allowing excess oil to drip away.
  7. Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy the delightful crunch and savory flavors with your loved ones.
