This fried chicken recipe is so simple and so good that I am sure it’s going to be a success, thanks to its simplicity but also thanks to a secret weapon called clarified butter! Because the chicken is cooked in clarified butter and this slowly for 20’ :-) It’s crispy and the taste of butter is simply amazing :-) To be eaten with the horseradish sauce pour encore plus de plaisir !
Also available in different formats :-)

What’s the story behind this recipe?
I must admit that I did not use to eat fried food before this blog, and this fried chicken is one of the rare exceptions, that I included in my nutrition only recently due to this recipe! But at the end, when we eat just one part of the thigh, the quantity of butter is not enormous, and so we can permit ourselves to taste this wonderful chicken from time to time :-)
It’s up to you!
