Step 1

Begin with pouring the buttermilk into a bowl, add the seasonings and mix well.

Step 2

Chop the chicken thighs into bite size pieces and add to the buttermilk. Cover and leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 3

For the BBQ sauce, add all of the ingredients into a cold pan. Mix well and then place on a medium-high heat. Stir well and let it bubble away for 15-20 minutes until it begins to reduce and thicken. Leave to cool.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the fridge and in a big mixing bowl add the flour, corn flour and seasonings. Drop in the chicken and mix thoroughly making sure all the chicken is evenly coated.

Step 5

Using a deep sauce pan, add 2-3 inces of oil (sunflower, canola etc) and bring up to 180c/350f.

Fry the chicken in 2-3 batches in order to not overload the oil. Once the chicken is golden brown and begins to float you know it's cooked. Place onto a drying rack and season with salt.
