I use a T-Fal Deep Fryer with a Basket. I’ve been using mine for a few months and love it. As far as I can tell, the filter is a built-in wire mesh type and doesn’t need to be replaced. It is helpful to clean the chamber independently without worrying about getting wet electrical parts.
I’ve used and recommend both cookware sets, the ScanPan 10-Piece Cookware Set and the HexClad 7-Piece Hybrid; both are well-made pans with a solid, heavy bottom, heat fast, and they get the job done. Visit the ScanPan or HexClad on Amazon. (Learn more about Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Essential Tools)
How to Make Gordon Ramsay Buttermilk Crispy Fried Chicken
I don’t know what KFC puts in the blend of their secret spices of herbs or seasoning, but Ramsay uses smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and garlic. I can tell you; it will knock off the colonel version of fried chicken!
- Put the chicken in a med-size bowl, add the buttermilk with a good pinch of salt and combine well. Remove from refrigerating and let stand till back to room temperature before frying. Wrap the bowl with cling film and refrigerate overnight; if used, rite away no less than 30 minutes.
- Once deep fry, pour oil into a heavy-based sauté pan or hob-proof dutch-oven or casserole dish. Now place on the med flame until the oil reaches 340°F, or you can test if it is ready by dropping a cube of bread into the oil, letting it sizzle and turning brown in 30 seconds.
- Add the flour to a plate and combine it with the spices and a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken Thigh and Legs from the buttermilk. Remove any excess buttermilk by shaking, coat with the flour, and ensure all sides are coated.
- Fry the chicken in a single-layer batch, turning over continually for 25-30 minutes until you reach evenly golden on all sides. After the finish, frying removes excess oil by placing the chicken on kitchen paper and serving warm.
How to Make Sweet Pickled Celery
This fast and straightforward sweet pickle celery recipe helps to cut through the abundance of Buttermilk-fried Chicken, or you can serve it with any cold meats and cheese platters. If you want the celery to hold its crunchy texture, don’t overcook it.
Leaving it sitting to marinate in the sweet and sour liquid means it will still take on lots of characteristics. Add vegs like carrot sticks or sliced radishes to make them more extraordinary if desired.
- Divide the celery stalk and cut each diagonally into slices sticks about 1/2 in. thick; Place aside in a large bowl.
- Put a small 4 qtr saucepan over medium-high heat and combine all the remaining components with a 1/4 cup water and a pinch of salt. Get water to boil, then decrease the heat to simmer and mix until the sugar and salt have melted.
- Taste and balance the spice as needed. You want a good balance between sour and sweet after allowing the liquid to cool until warm.
- Now pour the pickling liquid over the celery sticks and leave to cool thoroughly before eating. The pickle will last up to a month if stored in a sealed jar in the fridge.
