Butterfly the chicken-Cut through the middle of the breasts to make 2 thinner pieces.Place in a dish and sprinkle half the spices over your chicken, making sure they're fully coated on all sides.
Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, stir, cover and put in the fridge for 2hrs to marinate.
Sieve your flour,add to a bowl and mix in the remaining spices
Create an assembly line for coating your chicken -marinade-flour-dish-so it's not too messy
Dip the marinated chicken into the seasoned flour and turn over a few times to ensure it's fully coated. Dip it back into the marinade then back into the flour
Shake off the excess and put on a plate. Repeat these steps till all the chicken is coated
Heat the oil till to 180° and add the chicken - I did it in batches
Fry for 10-12 mns turning over a few times to ensure even cooking
Drain on kitchen roll or a wire rack whilst you cook the remaining chicken
Drizzle over the honey and serve with salad and a sweet chilli dip or mayo
This works well with drumsticks or chicken thighs too.
