Sichuan Fried Chicken Recipe | The Wine Gallery

Before you begin, marinate your chicken in a bowl of buttermilk for at least an hour in the fridge. Once you’re ready to cook, lightly fry the green chillies in a dash of oil until crisp, then set aside.
On a large plate, combine the smoked paprika, Sichuan peppercorns, sea salt, flour, chilli powder, and five spice powder on a plate. Heat your deep fat fryer to 175C, or heat plenty of oil a large frying pan or wok.
Remove the chicken thighs from the buttermilk, dredge in the flour and spice mix, and fry until cooked through - 10 to 15 minutes should be enough. Serve hot with the fried green chillies and a splodge of soured cream. Heaven!
