Fried Chicken

Once a week, we eat fried chicken (not bragging, just being honest 🤷🏽‍♀️). If we’re not hitting up Church’s or Gus’, we fry chicken at home and it is just as good. Although salt and pepper works, adding a few more spices and herbs to the fried chicken mix adds that soul to it. We use our OG Cajun spice blend handcrafted with 14 herbs and spices featuring savory, spicy, sweet, and smokey flavors, basically, everything you want to taste in fried chicken. My LBGC G’s, we hope you enjoy the crispy fried chicken with our OG Cajun spice 🙏🏽


The G Rub 5-Piece Fried Chicken 

Ingredients

-Chicken (your favorite cut)

-The G Rub OG Cajun

-Salt

-Buttermilk

-Frying Oil (Avocado, Vegetable or Canola)

-Flour

-Basil/Parsley (for garnish)

Prepwork

  • Brine chicken up to 24 hours 

  • Put oil in a frying pan and set to 350 degrees. We prefer enough oil to submerge the chicken. 

  • Pour flour into a bowl, add OG Cajun, and set aside

  • Pour buttermilk in a bowl and set aside. If we remember, we soak the chicken for a few hours to tenderize and create killer flakiness.

The G Rub Cajun Spice Blend

The G Rub Savory Cajun Spice Blend

If you don’t have our OG Cajun in the pantry yet, use paprika, cayenne, ground mustard, salt, white pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the flour mix or add to the buttermilk. 

Instructions

Step 1

Brine your chicken in a bowl for up to 24 hours or a minimum of 30 mins, pull it out, and set it on a plate, then pat dry the chicken with a paper towel.

Step 2

Rub your chicken with The G Rub Cajun and preferred salt (let it sit for 10-15 mins).

Step 3 

Soak the chicken in buttermilk. Then drain the buttermilk off the chicken before dipping in the flour. 

Step 4

Dredge the rubbed, buttermilk coated chicken in the flour and add more OG Cajun because why not.

Step 5

Add chicken to hot oil in 4-5 batches. Fry the chicken until cooked for about 12 mins or so. 

Step 6

Let the cooked chicken sit on a wire rack for 5-10 mins in the oven on low heat. Dust with more OG Cajun, grab your favorite hot sauces and enjoy.
