Instructions

  1. 1
    Marinate chicken in buttermilk — at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Buttermilk tenderizes the meat and ensures better coating adhesion.
  2. 2
    Mix the spiced flour: combine flour, cornstarch, and all 11 spices thoroughly.
  3. 3
    Remove chicken from buttermilk, let drain slightly. Press into the spiced flour — use your hands to press firmly for an irregular, clumpy coating.
  4. 4
    Let rest on a wire rack for 30 minutes — the coating dries and adheres better.
  5. 5
    Heat oil to 325°F (165°C) (frying temperature, not too hot — coating will burn before chicken cooks through otherwise).
  6. 6
    Fry chicken pieces in batches for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp: 75°C / 167°F).
  7. 7
    Drain on wire rack — never on paper towels (makes the underside soggy).
  8. 8
    Honey-Mustard Dip: whisk together honey and mustard. Stir in cold Cannabis-Coconut Oil.
  9. 9
    Serve hot fried chicken with Cannabis-Honey-Mustard Dip.

Pro Tips

  • Buttermilk marinade overnight is the most important step — the enzyme in buttermilk breaks down proteins.
  • 325°F (165°C) instead of 347°F (175°C) — chicken needs time to cook through without burning on the outside.
  • Drain on wire rack, never on paper towels — the crust stays crispy this way.
  • Cannabis-Coconut Oil in the Honey-Mustard Dip: honey completely masks any distinctive flavor.
