- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 teaspoons ground fennel seed
- 2 teaspoons ground mustard seed
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons ground fennel seed
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Canola oil, for frying
Method
- For the chicken and marinade: Cut each chicken thigh into bite-size pieces, approximately 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches.
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the fennel, mustard, salt and black pepper.
- Add the chicken and massage the bag so the chicken is thoroughly coated in the spices.
- Add the buttermilk and onions, and massage the bag again to mix the ingredients.
- Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- For the breading: Set up a breading station by lining up 3 small baking dishes or pie plates.
- In one dish, add the flour.
- In the second, whisk the eggs with 3 tablespoons water.
- In the third, mix together the panko, fennel, paprika, salt and black pepper.
- A few pieces at a time, remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess drip off before dredging in the flour.
- Shake off the excess flour and then dunk the chicken in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off.
- Finally, dredge in the panko mixture, making sure the chicken pieces are completely coated.
- Place the breaded chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Fill a large, heavy skillet with about an inch of canola oil and heat to 350 degrees F over medium heat.
- In batches, fry the chicken in the oil until golden brown all over, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
