🍗✨ Crispy Fried Chicken Box (with Fries & Coleslaw)

📝 Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 6–8 chicken pieces (drumsticks/thighs)
  • 1 cup buttermilk 🥛
  • 1 tsp salt + 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Coating:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch (for extra crisp)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (optional 🌶️)
  • Salt & pepper

For the Fries:

  • 3–4 potatoes (cut into fries) 🥔
  • Oil for frying
  • Salt

For Coleslaw:

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot 🥕
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • Salt & pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate Chicken

  • Mix buttermilk with spices.
  • Add chicken and marinate at least 1 hour (overnight = best).

2. Coat Chicken

  • Mix flour + cornstarch + spices.
  • Dredge chicken well, pressing coating for extra crunch.

3. Fry Chicken

  • Heat oil to medium (around 170–175°C).
  • Fry 12–15 minutes until golden, crispy, and cooked through.
  • Rest on a rack (not paper towels—keeps it crispy).

4. Make Fries

  • Fry potatoes until golden and crispy.
  • Salt immediately.

5. Make Coleslaw

  • Mix all ingredients and chill before serving.

6. Serve

  • Plate crispy chicken, fries, and coleslaw.
  • Add ketchup or your favorite sauce 😋

💡 Tips:

  • Double-dip chicken (buttermilk → flour → buttermilk → flour) for extra crunch 🔥
  • Add a little baking powder to flour for even crispier coating
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying
  • Let chicken rest 5 minutes before eating = juicier inside
