- 500 g chicken breast bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornflour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, salt, and half of the spices. Add chicken pieces into the mixture. Stir well. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes. This makes chicken soft and flavorful.
Prepare the Coating
In another bowl, mix flour, cornflour, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and black pepper. This dry mix will create a crispy coating. Make sure spices are evenly combined for consistent flavor.
- Use chicken thighs for juicier bites
- Double coat for extra crispiness
- Adjust chili powder for spice level
- Air fry instead of deep frying
- Add honey for sweet spicy flavor
- Use smoked paprika for deeper taste
