Crispy, crunchy and tangy fried chicken that is juicy and tender inside! Definitely worth the effort! The red cabbage slaw is the perfect tangy and creamy side dish for any SLAW occasion!

Ingredients

Marinade:

Dredge:

Slaw:

Directions

  1. Fill a large Dutch oven halfway with canola oil and heat to 375 degrees F.
  2. For the marinade: Stir together the buttermilk, Dijon, salt and hot sauce in a large bowl and set aside.
  3. For the dredge: Combine the flour, mustard powder, black pepper, baking powder and celery salt in a large bowl. Add the buttermilk into the dry ingredients with a fork to make a craggy mixture.
  4. Dip the chicken into the marinade and then coat in the dredge. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the slaw.
  5. For the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, apple, carrot, onion and vinegar. Toss together and season with salt. Set aside while you fry the chicken.
  6. To fry the chicken: Remove the chicken from the fridge and add to the hot oil in batches, 2 or 3 at a time, and cook until brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes, or until the temperature reads 165 degrees F. Transfer the cooked chicken to a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain and keep warm in a 200-degree F oven. Serve with the slaw.
