Ingredients
Chicken and Fish
- 4 pieces chicken wings or drumsticks
- 4 fillets white fish (tilapia, catfish, or whiting)
Breading and Seasoning
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning signature blend
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Batter and Cooking
- 2 cups buttermilk for marination
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, soak the chicken and fish fillets in buttermilk for at least 1 hour (optional but recommended for extra juiciness).
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, lemon-pepper seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Remove the chicken and fish from the buttermilk and coat them evenly with the dry mixture.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for about 10-12 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Fry the fish fillets for about 5-6 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Sprinkle additional lemon-pepper seasoning on top before serving.
Notes
For an extra crispy texture, double-coat the chicken and fish by dipping them back into buttermilk and flour before frying.
