Description

This crispy fried chicken is a real comfort food! The marinade in sherry and spices gives it a unique and irresistible flavor. The preparation takes a bit of time, but the result is a chicken with a golden and crispy skin and a tender and juicy meat. Perfect for a family dinner or a party with friends. I prepare it often and it never disappoints! A tip: serve it with a simple green salad for a complete and balanced meal.

Cooling and immersion of the chicken

Allow the flavored water to cool completely. Thoroughly clean the chicken, dry it both internally and externally, and immerse it in the cooled water for 2 and a half hours or 3 hours.

Drying the chicken

Hang the chicken to drain the water completely and dry it thoroughly with absorbent paper.

Preparation of the marinade

Thermomix® Setting

20 sec/Speed 3

Pour the dry sherry, cornstarch, brown sugar and white vinegar into the Mixtopf. Mix for 20 seconds at Stufe 3.

Marinating the chicken

Spread the marinade evenly over the chicken, both inside and out.

Frying the chicken

In a large pan, heat 1.5 liters of seed oil over high heat. When the oil is very hot, immerse the chicken and fry until golden brown, simultaneously collecting the hot oil with a ladle and pouring it inside the chicken.
