I feel like fresh breath is a considerate gift that you bestow tos people in close proximity (and yes I am crazy). I refuse to kiss Mr NQN unless he has flossed (yes I am that serious!). I floss twice a day and I can tell when people have poor flossing habits. The other day I mentioned to her that I had a serious flossing thing. Just when you think you know someone, they surprise you. I love learning new things about friends. If anyone would understand my love of fried chicken it would be my food twin Monica. I wanted to recreate the honey butter chicken I had eaten in Chicago which was so deliciously good that I think I ate most of it after a multi course Michelin starred dinner. It wasn't so much a dinner party as a fried chicken party. The chicken doesn't end up absorbing a lot of oil as it is also simmered in the buttermilk mixture which also helps to tenderise the chicken (a Nigella Lawson idea) before being drained and then repeatedly dipped in egg and flour to increase the breading and therefore crunch.Īlthough I am suggesting this for Father's Day I first made this a few weeks ago and served it at a dinner party with Monica and Marco. The rest is really simple and can be done earlier in the day so that you do a quick 3 minute fry just before you serve it. One of the best ways is to use a flour mixture using 00 flour and tapioca flour which can be easily found at Asian grocery stores. One of the keys to this honey butter fried chicken is to keep the breading as crunchy as possible especially that it gets a sauce. But I also know that fried chicken is at its best when it is freshly fried so that it is crunchy so you don't want to make it ahead of time. I made this for friends and the last thing I want to do is to be stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is talking in another room. One of the best things about this fried chicken is that most of it can be done beforehand and you don't have to do very much before serving it. Then it gets one flourish-a brush of delicious honey butter sauce! Perfect for a Father's Day lunch! First the chicken is soaked in buttermilk to tenderise and it is cooked in the buttermilk marinade before being rolled in egg and a spiced flour dip.
