Crunchy Curried Chicken Recipes

CRISPY CURRY FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the curry, chili, onion and garlic powders, poultry seasoning, celery seed or ground cardamom and lime zest, and set aside.
• In a large bowl with a lid or a large, re-sealable plastic bag, add half of the spice mixture, the chicken and the yogurt, and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight, but no longer than 24 hours.
• In a large paper bag, shake up the flour and the other half of the spice mixture. Add half of the marinated chicken pieces and shake it to coat. Remove the coated pieces, add the other half of the chicken and repeat.
• Heat a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with oil. When bubbles rapidly roll away from a handle of a wooden spoon inserted into the oil, it's hot enough to fry the chicken. (If you have an oil thermometer, it should read 350ºF.) Avoid overcrowding the pan, so cook the chicken in 2 batches, if necessary. Cook smaller pieces for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, cook larger pieces for 12-15 minutes total. Let the finished pieces drain on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.

CRISPY CURRIED CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH A LOT OF CABBAGE

Steps:

• Prepare the cabbage: In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup water, the vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the cabbage and toss until well coated. Set aside.
• Make the kkasseu sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.
• Make the chicken cutlets: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap (or in a large resealable plastic bag) and pound them with a rolling pin until they are flat and uniformly ¼-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• On a large plate, stir together the mayonnaise and mustard. On another large plate, stir together the panko, curry powder, garlic powder, and some salt and pepper. Set the chicken on the first plate and smother both sides with the mayo-mustard mixture. Then transfer chicken to the second plate and press down, flipping and pressing down multiple times to ensure even panko stickage on both sides.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over high heat until hot and shimmering. Add one of the chicken cutlets and fry until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and fry on the second side until the chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, wipe the skillet out with a paper towel, and repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the second cutlet.
• To serve, divide the cutlets between two plates and pour the kkasseu sauce over each cutlet. Divide the quick-pickled cabbage between the two plates and add some white rice alongside
