Crispy Fried Chicken in Batter – Fragrant and Crunchy
·Prepare the thighs
Prepare the chicken thighs. You can bone them if you like, which will noticeably cut down the frying time. Wash, pat dry and lightly salt.
Make the batter
In a bowl, start mixing the batter ingredients: flour, spices, a bit of salt, fresh thyme and crushed garlic.
Add the balsamic cream and mustard
Add the BBQ balsamic cream and mustard powder.
Coat the chicken
Coat the chicken pieces in the batter, making sure they're covered nicely on all sides.
Fry until done
Fry in hot fat – you can use vegetable oil, lard or ghee. If frying whole thighs with the bone in, start on higher heat, then lower the temperature and fry for at least 10–15 minutes on each side, so the thigh cooks through thoroughly.
Serving
Serve with boiled potatoes, homemade fries, vegetables or another favourite side. And don't forget a good sauce.
