Recipe
for family meals :
 It
is many years since Hub-UK was first launched. It has
been created from recipes contributed form all over
the world, from professionals and amateurs alike. A
great many of the recipes do not have any details as
to who sent them in or from where they came. It would
be a shame not to share them with you for this reason
alone.
This
is one such recipe. If you know where it originated,
or perhaps it is even yours, let me know and I will
add the necessary credits and acknowledgements.
"The
most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking
- love, for those you are cooking for" ~ Sophia
Loren.
Ingredients
2 chickens (2 1/2 to 3 lbs ea)
2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
vegetable oil for frying
2 limes
Method
- Cut
the chicken into serving pieces. The breast pieces
should be cut in half.
- Place
the chicken in a bowl and cover with the buttermilk
overnight.
- In
a medium size bowl, combine the flour, paprika, cumin,
cayenne, salt, and pepper.
- Heat
enough oil to a depth of about 3/4 inch in a large
heavy skillet.
- When
the oil is medium hot dip the chicken pieces in the
flour mixture and fry, without crowding the chicken.
If necessary fry in batches. Reduce the heat to medium
and fry until the coating becomes a deep golden-brown,
turning the chicken as needed. The white meat should
be done in 20 to 25 minutes, dark meat in about 35
minutes. Juices should run clear when the chicken
is pricked with a fork.
- Squeeze
lime juice over the chicken 10 minutes before it is
done.
- Drain
chicken on paper towels.
