CRISPY POTATOES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the potato wedges on a roasting tray, coat in oil, ½ the rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.
MARINATION STATION
Pat the chicken pieces dry with some paper towel and place in a bowl with ½ the buttermilk. Set aside in the fridge for 5-7 minutes.
UCOOK FRIED CHICKEN
In a bowl, combine the flour and some seasoning. Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk, discarding any excess, and coat each piece in the seasoned flour. Place a deep pan over a medium heat with about 3-4cm of oil, or enough to cover the chicken halfway. When hot, carefully lower each piece into the hot oil. Fry for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and crispy, flipping halfway. Remove and drain between sheets of paper towel in a single layer.
RANCH DRESSING
Place a small pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the remaining rub and fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Remove the pot from the heat and add the remaining buttermilk, the dijon-yoghurt, the honey, the juice of 1 lemon wedge, and seasoning.
FRESH SLAW
In a bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, ½ the chopped parsley, the juice from 1 lemon wedge, and seasoning.
