Instructions

1. 1

   Cook Within: Keeping the oil temperature steady is key to getting perfectly browned chicken on the outside that’s fully cooked inside. Use the heaviest here) to help with oil temperature stability. If oil is too hot, the breading will burn before chicken reaches 165; if it’s too cold, the breading will absorb oil and not get as crispy. No secret spices here! We make our fried chicken spice blend with 2 parts smoked paprika and 1 part each garlic powder and onion powder.

   Prepare the Ingredients: Trim ends off green beans. Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

   Heat canola oil to 350 degrees in a medium pan: combine buttermilk and liquid egg in a second flour and season both bowls with half the season- ing blend, 2 tsp. salt, and ½ tsp. pepper each. Dip chicken in buttermilk-egg mixture, then in seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

   Prepare a plate with a paper towel. Carefully lay: chicken away from you in hot canola oil, cover, and cook 8-10 minutes, flipping chicken every 2 ½ minutes. Cook uncovered 2 more minutes, or until chicken is golden brown and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove chicken to paper towel-lined plate.

   Plate the Dish: Divide green beans between two plates. Place a piece of fried chicken on each plate followed by a biscuit. Serve chicken with remaining honey butter. • In this recipe, chicken is fried in oil, which makes it crispy, delicious...and dangerous. Be very careful around hot oil. If any splatters on your skin, run under cool water immediately. • How to Test Oil: Add a pinch of seasoned flour to canola oil. It should sizzle and brown gently. If it turns black, turn the heat down and let the oil cool. If it doesn’t brown, turn heat up. (mmmmm!) is used twice. A dollop goes on the biscuits before baking and the rest is served with the fried chicken. the recipe before you start–we promise it will be time • Set butter on counter to soften Thanks for cooking with us.
