You'll never have to worry about a raw center in your fried chicken again when you combine two of my favorite cooking methods: sous vide and deep frying! After marinading in a classic buttermilk mixture, this chicken gets sous vided then deep fried for a better texture, better flavor, and to ensure it's completely cooked through. You can use this method on any cut of chicken you like, including wings, thighs, and breasts.
