The weather have been absolutely glorious and I have decided to fry chicken for my boy lollipop as I have not make my double dipped twice fried crispy chicken for him for a long time.

He always insisted that he preferred my fried chicken to the well known chain ones but I only fry for him a handful of times a year.

After the wet and cold of winter the weather have been almost spring like the last few days so today it is my special Double dipped twice fried crispy chicken day.

I much preferred to buy whole chicken and chop it myself. The chicken has been thoroughly massaged with salts and rinsed clean before chopping ready for marinating.

I did not have any buttermilk but I have lemons, milk and double cream so I decided to make my own buttermilk for my chicken marinate.

It is better to marinate your chicken overnight but if you do not have the chance then a good 3 to 4 hours would be preferred.

Frying time is given based on the fact that my chicken pieces are at room temperature.

Double dipping and twice fried makes the chicken really crispy. Remember the whole trick is to shake the seasoned flour away after each coating.

Enjoy!

The boy lollipop requested turkey schnitzel. He said I have not made this for ages. I use to cook this with all types of protein then keep some to make sandwiches for his school lunch box. This is a very easy but children and adult pleasing dish. You can make a sauce for it but there is no need actually. Children loves it dip in ketchup and adults preferred a squeeze of lemon and tartare sauce with a bit of capers. 

You can serve with potatoes, pasta or anything you like but I have always serve with a side salads.
