Summers in NC = Bojangles fried chicken. 🟡🍗🔴 The twist? I cracked it with their sweet tea in the marinade. 🥤 Get my recipe below ⬇️ or on uncledibbz.com [Link in Bio] Ingredients Chicken and Marinade: • 1 whole chicken (cut into pieces) or 8 chicken pieces (legs, thighs, breasts, wings) • 1 cup sweet tea • 2 cups buttermilk • 1 tablespoon hot sauce • 2 tablespoons Uncle Dibbz Top of the Line Brine Seasoned Flour: • 1 cup self-rising flour • 1 tablespoon Uncle Dibbz King Creole Blend • 1 tablespoon Uncle Dibbz Delta Dust Wet Batter: • 2 large eggs • 1/3 cup milk Cooking: • Peanut oil (or vegetable oil) for frying Instructions 1. Marinate the Chicken: • Start with a whole chicken cut into pieces. • In a large bowl, combine sweet tea, buttermilk, hot sauce, and Uncle Dibbz Top of the Line Brine. Stir until the brine dissolves. • Submerge the chicken in the marinade and let it sit for at least 4 hours (overnight for the best results). 2. Prepare the Seasoned Flour: • In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, Uncle Dibbz King Creole Blend, and Uncle Dibbz Delta Dust. Mix well. 3. Prepare the Wet Batter: • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until smooth. 4. Coat the Chicken: • Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. • Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the wet batter, and coat it again in the seasoned flour. • The double coating creates a perfectly crispy crust. 5. Fry the Chicken: • Heat peanut oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F. • Fry the chicken in batches, about 6 minutes per side, until it’s golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. • Remove the chicken and drain on a wire rack or paper towels. 6. Serve and Enjoy: • Plate up the crispy fried chicken and serve it hot with your favorite sides and a glass of sweet tea.
