Ingredients
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cups crushed corn flake cereal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Generous pinch seasoned salt, such as Lawry's
Freshly ground black pepper
1 whole chicken, cut into 10 parts (about 4 pounds)
1 quart sunflower oil
Directions
- In a medium bowl, mix the buttermilk and balsamic vinegar.
- In another medium bowl, combine the cereal, flour, seasoned salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Fill a large, deep frying pan a little less than half full with oil and heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.
- Dip the chicken pieces in the buttermilk mixture and then in cereal mixture. Fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time, until golden brown and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes per piece. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Bring the oil back to 350 degrees F before cooking the remaining pieces of chicken.
