Instructions
- All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
- Wash chicken thighs, then pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, mix salt, ketchup, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic paste, ginger paste, black pepper, and optional MSG. Add chicken thighs and coat evenly with marinade.
- Cover the chicken, put it in the fridge, and let marinate for at least 2 hours. Then remove from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- In a deep-dish baking tray, prepare the dry coating. Sift together flour, corn flour, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and optional turmeric powder.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, add buttermilk, salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder, and whisk together.
- Take one piece of chicken, coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture, then dip it in the buttermilk, and coat it again in the flour mixture. Make sure you get a nice layer of flour for extra crunchy results. Place coated chicken on a clean plate.
- Repeat step 4 until all the boneless chicken thigh pieces are coated.
- Heat the oil for frying on medium-high heat. It should be at 350°F, not hotter.
- Carefully place coated chicken thighs in oil in small batches and fry for 12-15 minutes until golden and crisp.
- When golden and crisp, remove chicken and place it on a wired rack to cool.
- Serve fried chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce. I recommend salsa verde. Enjoy!
