Sesame Fried Chicken - Uniworld River Cruises
Sesame Fried Chicken - Uniworld River Cruises
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 7 oz evaporated milk
- 3 1/4 lbs whole chicken, cut into 8 portions, plus the legs and wings
- 1 cup oil
- 1 cup butter
- Sesame Coating
- 10 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 4 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp salt
- freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the coating ingredients to make a fine mixture.
- Whisk together the whole egg with the milk.
- Dip the chicken pieces in the liquid, then shake off excess and roll them in the sesame coating.
- Heat the oil and butter together in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat, so that the chicken pieces sit in the pan with the oil mixture covering half the chicken.
- Start with the drumsticks and thighs first, as they take longer to cook.
- Try to turn each piece only once, as the coating is very delicate.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 25–30 minutes total.
