Ingredients

  • 8 pieces chicken, bone in
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp cumin

  • 600ml buttermilk
  • 300g plain flour
  • Vegetable oil, to fry

  • 1 red onion, peeled and grated
  • 1 large beetroot, peeled and grated
  • 200g red cabbage, grated
  • 100g mayonnaise
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. Arrange the chicken in a single layer a baking dish. Mix the spices, salt and pepper into the buttermilk and pour over the chicken. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight if possible.
