  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. FRESH SLAW

    In a bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, ½ the chopped parsley, the juice from 1 lemon wedge, and seasoning.

  6. SOUTHERN-FRIED FEAST

    Plate up the buttermilk fried chicken alongside the roasted potato wedges and the slaw. Serve with the ranch dressing and side with any remaining lemon wedges. Sprinkle over the remaining parsley and indulge!
