Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces Chicken Skin on or off

Buttermilk

  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • 500 ml Milk mixed with 1.5 tbsp Lemon Juice (Set aside)

Tray

  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter

Coating

  • 200 g Plain Flour
  • 2/3 tbsp Salt
  • 1/2 tbsp dried Thyme
  • 1/2 tbsp dried Basil
  • 1/3 tbsp dried Oregano
  • 1 tbsp Celery Salt
  • 1 tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp dried Mustard
  • 4 tbsp Paprika
  • 2 tbsp Garlic Salt
  • 1 tbsp ground Ginger
  • 3 tbsp White Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place buttermilk mix in a large bowl. Marinade the chicken in the mix for 1 hour. 
  • Preheat oven to Gas Mark 3/175 degrees C.
  • Place the butter and oil on a large baking tray. Place in the oven for a few minutes until the butter is just melted. Remove and tip the tray to spread the oil and butter all over.
  • Drain the chicken of excess marinade using a colander. 
  • Place flour and dry ingredients in a shallow plate and mix. Place half in a large ziplock bag. Transfer half the chicken into the ziplock bag, seal in air so it is puffed like a balloon, then shake to coat the chicken in the seasoning. Press through the bag so the coating is firmly stuck onto the chicken. Place the chicken onto the baking tray. Place the remaining coating into the ziplock bag and repeat with remaining chicken. 
  • Spray with spray oil. Add the chicken to the baking tray and bake for 30 - 40 minutes, turning midway.
