Fried chicken is a classic comfort food that's loved by many, and this Swedish twist on the dish takes it to the next level. The marinade of coconut milk, buttermilk, garlic, and lime juice infuses the chicken with flavor and keeps it moist, while the crispy coating gives it a satisfying crunch. The Swedish gravy is a rich and creamy accompaniment, with hints of coffee and Bourbon that add depth to the flavor. This recipe is perfect for a casual lunch or dinner with family and friends, and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, buttermilk, garlic, and lime juice.
2.Add the chicken to the bowl, ensuring that each piece is fully coated in the marinade, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
3.Heat the peanut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
4.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and kosher salt.
5.Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, then coat each piece fully in the flour mixture.
6.Once the oil has reached 350°F, carefully add the chicken to the pot, a few pieces at a time, and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per batch.
7.Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8.Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add the shallots and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
9.Add the flour and whisk together until smooth, then gradually pour in the whole milk and black coffee, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
10.Continue to whisk until the gravy has thickened, then season with Bourbon, mace, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

PROS

CONS

Fried chicken is high in calories and fat, so it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Deep-frying can also be a messy and time-consuming process.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While fried chicken is not particularly healthy, it can be enjoyed as an occasional treat in moderation.
However, chicken is a great source of protein and essential nutrients, and this recipe uses unsweetened coconut milk instead of heavy cream for the gravy to reduce the fat content.
