INGREDIENTS
About 4 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken parts (I used 2 split chicken breasts and 4 drumsticks)*
1 1/2 cups
buttermilk
1 cup
plain yogurt (or you can use 1 additional cup buttermilk in place of the yogurt)
2 cups
basic gum-free gluten free flour blend (184 g superfine white rice flour + 62 g potato starch + 34 g tapioca starch/flour) (yes, you do have to use this blend!)
1 tsp
freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp
kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp
smoked Spanish paprika
1/2 tsp
dried oregano
1/2 tsp
dried thyme
1/2 tsp
dried parsley
1/4 tsp
ground cumin
1/4 tsp
ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp
onion powder
1/4 tsp
garlic powder
1/4 tsp
chili powder
3 tbsp
sugar
Neutral oil, for frying (peanut oil is ideal, but a mixture of half canola oil and half nonhydrogenated vegetable shortening works very well, too)
*F0r easier frying, and easier eating, try slicing each split chicken breast in half while it’s still on the bone. A large sharp knife and a swift motion will do the trick.
