Ingredients
  

For The Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Hennessy cognac
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

For The Hennessy Marinade

  • ½ cup Hennessy cognac
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste

Instructions
 

Marinating The Chicken

  • Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of Hennessy cognac and buttermilk.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Preparing The Hennessy Marinade

  • Whisk together 1/2 cup Hennessy cognac, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes in a separate bowl.
  • This flavorful marinade will infuse the chicken with an irresistible taste.

Coating And Frying

  • Mix the all-purpose flour with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
  • Remove the marinated chicken from the buttermilk and let any excess liquid drip off.
  • Dip each chicken breast into the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Carefully place the chicken breasts into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
  • Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Notes

Tips

  • Marinating the chicken in Hennessy and buttermilk adds flavour and helps tenderize the meat, resulting in juicy and succulent fried chicken.
  • Ensure that the oil temperature is maintained at 350°F (175°C) while frying to achieve a crispy and golden crust.
  • Adjust the level of red pepper flakes in the marinade to suit your desired level of spiciness.
