DOUBLE-DIPPED BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the buttermilk, thyme, Tabasco, Worcestershire, 1 tablespoon of the salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the pepper in a nonreactive bowl large enough to contain all of the chicken pieces with at least 1 inch to spare. Add the chicken and turn to coat fully in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator about 45 minutes before frying.
• Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a large, shallow bowl, combine the flour, remaining 1 tablespoon salt, Cajun seasoning, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade and roll it around in the seasoned flour until completely covered. Set it on the prepared baking sheet; repeat with the remaining chicken. Dip the coated chicken pieces once more in the marinade, then again in flour. Return the pieces to the baking sheet (a few minutes' rest makes for a sturdier, crisper coating).
• Have a wire cooling rack set over paper towels ready. In a large, heavy Dutch oven, heat 1 1/2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F on a deep-fat thermometer. Using kitchen tongs, add a few chicken pieces at a time to the hot oil (crowding will lower the temperature, making for greasy chicken). Fry the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 180°F, about 10 minutes per side (watch carefully, it can easily burn). Transfer the cooked chicken to the wire rack. Serve immediately or at room temperature (don't let the chicken sit more than 2 hours).
• Do it Early
• The chicken can be fried up to 2 days in advance, covered, and refrigerated. Serve it cold-a classic Texas picnic food-or reheat on wire racks set on baking sheets in a 375°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Tip
• If the chicken looks pretty dark before it is cooked through, transfer to wire racks set on baking sheets and bake in a 375°F oven until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 180°F on an instant-read thermometer. Keep fried chicken warm in a 200°F oven. Using a digital thermometer eliminates the need to stand over the chicken. When the alarm sounds, the meat is done.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK FINGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and marinade seasonings.
• Add the steak strips. Use tongs to move the steak around and get each piece coated with the buttermilk mixture. Cover the bowl and set aside for 30 minutes. If you plan to marinate for longer than 30 minutes, place the bowl into the fridge.
• Next, prepare the batter mixture by adding the flour, cornstarch, and seasonings to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Add the oil to a deep Dutch oven or deep cast iron skillet. You will need at least 3 inches of oil in the pot. Pre-heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
• While the oil heats up, working with one piece of steak at a time, remove it from the buttermilk mixture. Gently shake off the excess liquid. Coat the steak well in the flour mixture and set it onto a prepared baking sheet which has been lined with a cooling rack. Do this will all of the steak, working with one piece at a time.
• Once all of the steak has been coated, again, working with one piece at a time, dip it once more into the buttermilk mixture until fully submerged. Remove and gently shake off the excess liquid. Coat once again in the flour mixture and place it back onto the cooling rack. It's important to double dredge to get the best crispy batter. This also locks the moisture into the steak.
• Now that all of the steak has been dipped and coated twice, it's time to fry. First, preheat your oven to 200 degrees F.
• Fry the steak in batches - about 4 or 5 pieces at a time. It will take about 4-7 minutes for the steak to be fully cooked through. Once fully cooked and browned, remove from the oil and place on a clean baking sheet/cooling rack. Set in oven. Do not cover!
• Continue with frying the next batch until all of the steak is done.
• Plate and serve with your favourite sides. Enjoy!

DOUBLE DIPPED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels. In a shallow platter, combine the buttermilk, water, and red pepper sauce. Soak the chicken pieces, turn to coat, then cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. If time allows, marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours because the buttermilk promotes tenderness. Place flour in a shallow platter. Season it by mixing in salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, paprika, and cayenne. Roll the marinated chicken pieces in the flour, a few at a time, until well coated. Then, dip chicken in the buttermilk bath again followed by another coat of seasoned flour. Allow the chicken to sit in the flour and dry out while preparing the oil, this will help the coating stay on better. The buttermilk will keep absorbing the seasoned flour, which then fries up to form a crunchy crust. Heat oil in a large electric skillet to 350 degrees F. There should be about 1-inch of fat in the pan. Carefully add the chicken pieces in a single layer, skin side down. Do not crowd the pan or the temperature will plummet; make sure the fat continues to bubble around the chicken. Fry for 5 minutes, then turn the pieces over and fry the other side 5 minutes. Turn again, frying a total of 15 minutes. The turning will produce a golden-crisp skin with even color. Remove chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Do not put hot chicken directly in a bowl or container, the air can not circulate and the steam will cause the crust to fall off. Serve immediately or cool to room temperature.
