Ingredients
3 garlic cloves, smashed
4 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon Aleppo-style pepper or 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2"-thick strips
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 –3 quarts vegetable oil (for frying), plus more for brushing
2 firm, ripe California avocados, cut into quarters, skin removed
Spicy mayonnaise or combine equal parts romesco and mayonnaise (for serving; optional)
Instructions
Combine garlic, buttermilk, Aleppo-style pepper, cumin, coriander, 1 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. black pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and toss to coat, then chill at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
Whisk flour, cayenne, and remaining 3 Tbsp. paprika in a medium shallow bowl.
Fit a large heavy pot with deep-fry thermometer. Pour in oil to a depth of 2"; heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 350 °F. Reduce heat to medium and raise or lower as needed to maintain a temperature of 350 °F. Working in batches, remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess, and dredge in flour mixture. Fry chicken, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet; season with salt.
Heat a grill pan over medium. Brush avocado with oil; season with remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a platter and arrange avocado alongside; serve with spicy mayonnaise, if desired.
