Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons of Great Northern Spice Southern Fried Seasoning

• 4 chicken legs/thighs or your choice of ingredient (veggie or vegan options include tofu, okra, cauliflower and courgette.)

• Buttermilk (deep fryer option only)

• Bowl of flour (to cover 2 chicken legs = 3 tablespoons of flour to every 1 tablespoon of Southern fried seasoning)

  
  

How to Cook (deep fry)

1. Prepare your meat or non meat option by coating it in a bowl of buttermilk. If you have time to leave this in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight - great! If not, don't worry.

   If you don't have buttermilk, skip to step 2.

   
   

2. In a large bowl, mix the flour and our Southern fried seasoning (3 tablespoons of flour for every 1 tablespoon of Southern fried seasoning.)

   Let any excess buttermilk dry off then add your main ingredient and coat fully. Add to the deep fryer tray.

   
   

3. Heat oil to 175°C in your deep fryer. Carefully lower the tray in to the oil and cook for the below times:

   
   

   Chicken wings: 8–10 minutes

   Chicken drumsticks/thighs: 12–15 minutes

   Chicken breasts (boneless): 8–12 minutes

   Chicken tenders/strips: 4–6 minutes

   Okra: 3–5 minutes

   Cauliflower: 4-6 minutes

   Tofu: 3–5 minutes

   Courgette: 2-4 minutes

   
   

4. Ensure all food is thoroughly cooked and please be careful that the hot oil doesn't splash. Get ready to serve with your choice of side and sauce.
