Fried Chicken 🐤 with Veggies 🥦🥕🌽: A Delicious and Balanced Meal 🥰😍😋😋

Ingredients:

For the Fried Chicken:

4 chicken thighs or drumsticks

2 cups buttermilk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetable oil for frying

For the Veggies:

1 cup broccoli florets

2 large carrots, sliced

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

In a large bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken thighs or drumsticks. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. This will tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.

2. Prepare the Breading:

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off.

Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

3. Fry the Chicken:

In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry each piece for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

4. Prepare the Veggies:

While the chicken is frying, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and corn kernels to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.

Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp.

5. Serve:

Arrange the fried chicken on a serving platter, alongside the sautéed vegetables.

Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Fried chicken with veggies is a delightful meal that brings together the best of both worlds: the satisfying crunch of perfectly fried chicken and the nutritious goodness of fresh vegetables. This dish is sure to be a hit at your dinner table, providing a delicious and balanced meal that everyone will love.
