Crispy Fried Chicken Tacos recipe

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

  • 1 pound chicken breasts (boneless skinless, cut into strips)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 8 small flour tortillas

 

For the Tangy Slaw:

  • 2 cups green cabbage (shredded)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
  • ½ cup red onion (finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

 

Instructions:
  • To prepare, start by placing the chicken pieces in a medium-sized bowl. Pour buttermilk over the chicken until they are fully submerged. Ensure that the chicken is thoroughly coated with the buttermilk. For optimal flavor, allow the chicken to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes.

 

  • In a shallow dish, thoroughly mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure that all the ingredients are evenly incorporated to achieve a consistent seasoning blend.

 

  • To begin, pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or pot, ensuring there is enough to submerge the food. Next, heat the oil until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C).
  • Coat the marinated chicken pieces thoroughly in the seasoned flour to ensure an even and consistent layer.

 

  • To ensure the chicken cooks evenly and achieves a golden brown, crispy texture, fry it in batches. Allow each batch to cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, or until the desired golden brown and crispy appearance is reached. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, corn kernels, finely chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure even coating. Set the prepared slaw aside to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.

 

  • Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they become pliable. For each tortilla, add a few pieces of crispy fried chicken as the filling. Generously top the chicken with tangy slaw. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
