Open the chicken thighs and put between two pieces of baking parchment, then flatten using a\nrolling pin\n. Transfer to the marinade, then cover and chill for 4 hrs, or overnight.\nstep 2\nMake the coating by combining the flours and turmeric with most of the remaining spice mix (reserving 1 tsp) and a generous pinch of salt. Drain the chicken thighs, reserving the marinade. One by one, dredge each thigh in the flour, then dip in the reserved marinade, then dredge again in the flour, pressing on as much as you can to coat. Transfer the coated thighs to a large plate.\nstep 3\nHeat a 10cm depth of oil in a shallow saucepan or deep-fat fryer until it reaches 175C. Lower two or three of the thighs in at a time and fry undisturbed for 3 mins, making sure the temperature doesn’t drop below 160C (it should stay at about 170C). Flip the thighs, then fry for another 2-3 mins until deeply golden and crisp on both sides. Lift the chicken out and transfer to a tray lined with kitchen paper to drain, then put on a\nrack\nand keep warm in a low oven while you fry the remaining thighs.\nstep 4\nWhen all the chicken has been fried, combine the reserved spice mix with 1 tbsp flaky sea salt and sprinkle over the chicken to serve.\nRecipe from Good Food magazine, July 2019","attrs_markdown":"[Skip to main content](https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/recipes\/next-level-fried-chicken#site-main)\n\n- [Subscribe](https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/subscribe \"Subscribe\")\n- [Sustainability](https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/feature\/sustainability \"Sustainability\")\n- [Good Food Shows](https:\/\/www.goodfoodshow.com\/summer\/?utm_source=bbcgoodfood.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=eyebrowbanner \"Good Food Shows\")\n- [GF x Gousto](https:\/\/cook.gousto.co.uk\/goodfood\/?utm_source=goodfood&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=goodfood&?promo_code=GOODFOOD50 \"GF x Gousto\")\n- [Download our app](https:\/\/immediate.onelink.me\/OQap?af_xp=custom&pid=website&c=homepage_eyebrow&is_mar26_chetnamakan_retargeting=true&af_reengagement_window=30d&af_dp=bbcgoodfood%3A%2F%2F \"Download our app\")\n- [GF x Laithwaites Wine](https:\/\/www.laithwaites.co.uk\/partnerships\/goodfood?cid=PRT\/8715001\/goodfood\/GFEYENAV&\/partner&\/20251015&\/LW&utm_medium=PRT&utm_source=gf&utm_campaign=GFEYENAV \"GF x Laithwaites Wine\")\n\n- [Sign in](https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/api\/auth\/login)\n- [Register](https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/api\/auth\/signup)\n\n[Sign in](https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/api\/auth\/login)\n\n[Register](https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/api\/auth\/signup)\n\n- [Recipes](https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/recipes \"Recipes\")\n  -

[Whisk](https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/content\/top-five-whisks) the milk with the vinegar, egg, ½ tsp salt and 1 tbsp spice mix in a bowl or deep plastic container to make the buttermilk marinade. Open the chicken thighs and put between two pieces of baking parchment, then flatten using a [rolling pin](https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/content\/test-best-rolling-pins). Transfer to the marinade, then cover and chill for 4 hrs, or overnight.\n- ### step 2\n  Make the coating by combining the flours and turmeric with most of the remaining spice mix (reserving 1 tsp) and a generous pinch of salt. Drain the chicken thighs, reserving the marinade. One by one, dredge each thigh in the flour, then dip in the reserved marinade, then dredge again in the flour, pressing on as much as you can to coat. Transfer the coated thighs to a large plate.\n- ### step 3\n  Heat a 10cm depth of oil in a shallow saucepan or deep-fat fryer until it reaches 175C. Lower two or three of the thighs in at a time and fry undisturbed for 3 mins, making sure the temperature doesn’t drop below 160C (it should stay at about 170C). Flip the thighs, then fry for another 2-3 mins until deeply golden and crisp on both sides. Lift the chicken out and transfer to a tray lined with kitchen paper to drain, then put on a [rack](https:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/content\/kimberley-wilsons-top-five-cooling-racks) and keep warm in a low oven while you fry the remaining thighs.\n- ### step 4\n  When all the chicken has been fried, combine the reserved spice mix with 1 tbsp flaky sea salt and sprinkle over the chicken to serve.\n\nRecipe from Good Food magazine, July 2019\n## Sponsored content\nAd\n\n## Comments, questions and tips (48)\n### Overall rating\nA star rating of 4.5 out of 5.88 ratings\n\n#### 27tavaresd\n2 months ago\n\nturned out black not happy at all do better 🤬\n\nReply\n\n##### justcona\n2 months ago\n\nYour oil was probably too hot\n\n#### jedediah.seredich\n3 months ago\n\nTurned out great!

I have just tried using the same batter for sweet and sour chicken, replacing the spices with Chinese five spice and piling the chicken on top of the sauce. It worked really well.\n\nReply\n\n#### lewis.fonio63144\n1 year ago\n\nWhatever you do, do NOT try this recipe. It was like eating sand.

[Whisk](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/top-five-whisks) the milk with the vinegar, egg, ½ tsp salt and 1 tbsp spice mix in a bowl or deep plastic container to make the buttermilk marinade. Open the chicken thighs and put between two pieces of baking parchment, then flatten using a [rolling pin](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/test-best-rolling-pins). Transfer to the marinade, then cover and chill for 4 hrs, or overnight. - ### step 2 Make the coating by combining the flours and turmeric with most of the remaining spice mix (reserving 1 tsp) and a generous pinch of salt. Drain the chicken thighs, reserving the marinade. One by one, dredge each thigh in the flour, then dip in the reserved marinade, then dredge again in the flour, pressing on as much as you can to coat. Transfer the coated thighs to a large plate. - ### step 3 Heat a 10cm depth of oil in a shallow saucepan or deep-fat fryer until it reaches 175C. Lower two or three of the thighs in at a time and fry undisturbed for 3 mins, making sure the temperature doesn’t drop below 160C (it should stay at about 170C). Flip the thighs, then fry for another 2-3 mins until deeply golden and crisp on both sides. Lift the chicken out and transfer to a tray lined with kitchen paper to drain, then put on a [rack](https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/kimberley-wilsons-top-five-cooling-racks) and keep warm in a low oven while you fry the remaining thighs. - ### step 4 When all the chicken has been fried, combine the reserved spice mix with 1 tbsp flaky sea salt and sprinkle over the chicken to serve.

Show replies (1) #### karenwc 11 months ago This batter is amazing and the chicken was o tender. I have just tried using the same batter for sweet and sour chicken, replacing the spices with Chinese five spice and piling the chicken on top of the sauce. It worked really well. Reply #### lewis.fonio63144 1 year ago Whatever you do, do NOT try this recipe. It was like eating sand. This chicken tasted like the recipe was inscribed on the walls of tutankhamun‘s tomb. Avoid.
