Recipe by Suvir Saran
The fried chicken owes its spice to a buttermilk brine with garam masala, coriander, ginger, and cayenne.
Ingredients
6 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. kosher salt
4 tbsp. sugar
3 tsp. garam masala (see note)
2 tsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. ground peppercorns
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
Instructions
In a large pitcher, combine all brine ingredients and stir. Divide chicken between 2 one-gallon resealable plastic bags. Pour half of brine into each bag and seal. Turn bags to coat chicken, then refrigerate overnight.
In a large, heavy-bottomed, high-sided skillet fitted with a candy thermometer, heat 1 inch oil over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together flour and remaining spices. Working with a few pieces at a time, remove chicken from brine and place in flour mixture, turning to coat. Tap off excess flour, then transfer to skillet (pack pieces fairly tightly).
Fry chicken until browned, 6 to 8 minutes; then flip and continue frying until browned on other side, 6 to 8 minutes more. Using tongs, transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined baking pan to drain. Repeat, working in batches until all chicken pieces are fried.
