Description

Delicious crispy fried chicken served over a bed of rice and beans with fresh vegetables


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup sweet corn
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup olive oil for shallow frying

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken thighs in a bowl with buttermilk and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.
  4. Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture.
  5. Fry the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 75 degrees Celsius.
  6. Transfer the chicken to a wire rack to rest and maintain crispness.
  7. Slice the fried chicken into strips.
  8. Assemble the bowls by layering cooked white rice, black beans, sweet corn, and diced tomatoes.
