Ingredients
Chicken:
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 cups buttermilk
1 large lemon, juiced
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt
Sauce:
2 tablespoons oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger
1 Thai bird chile, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Pinch cayenne
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Directions
- For the chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and place in a bowl with the buttermilk and lemon juice. Set aside to marinate.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder and some salt. Mix well to blend. Set aside.
- For the sauce: Heat the oil in a pan over low heat. Add the garlic, ginger, chiles, onions, turmeric and some salt and pepper. Saute for 10 minutes.
- Puree the chopped tomatoes in a blender. Add the sauteed onion mixture to the tomato puree; blend well.
- Return the sauce to the pan and add the coconut milk, cumin, sugar and cayenne; cook for another 15 minutes. Add salt to taste.
- Fry the chicken: Fill a Dutch oven with about 2 inches of oil and heat to 375 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer.
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allow the excess to drip off and then dredge in the flour. Shake off the excess flour and thread the chicken onto skewers.
- Carefully place the skewers in the hot oil and fry until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the chicken skewers with some sauce and garnish with cilantro.
