Tips and tricks
-
Right oil temperature: The batter should immediately ‘sizzle’ and slightly lift. Oil that is too cold will absorb fat; too hot will burn the surface.
-
Even crispier pieces: Double-coat – flour → batter → flour → batter.
-
Lighter option: Arrange the pieces on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, spray with oil and bake at 200 °C for 15–18 minutes (turn halfway).
-
Herbal note for the dip: Finely add dill, chives or parsley.
Serving
Serve the crispy chicken pieces still warm with the garlic-and-cream dip and fresh cucumber salad. They also go great with fries, roast potatoes or in a wrap with leafy salad.
