Ingredients:

🍗 6 chicken legs
🥛 2 cups buttermilk
🥒 1 cup pickle juice
🧂 1 tablespoon salt (for marinade)
🌾 2 cups all-purpose flour
🥔 1 cup potato starch
🍛 2 teaspoons curry powder
🌶️ 2 tablespoons spicy chili powder
🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt (for breading)
🥚 4 eggs
🧂 A pinch of salt (for the eggs)
🌑 A pinch of black pepper (for the eggs)
Dressing:
🥄 5 tablespoons mayonnaise
🌶️ 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
🍋 1/4 lime, juiced
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon spicy chili powder (for dressing)
🍛 1/4 teaspoon curry powder (for dressing)

Instructions:

1. Begin by marinating the chicken legs in a mixture of buttermilk, pickle juice, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Let it sit for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse and the meat to tenderize.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, potato starch, 2 teaspoons of curry powder, 2 tablespoons of spicy chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to create the seasoned breading.
3. In a third bowl, beat the 4 eggs, adding a pinch of salt and black pepper to the mix.
4. Once the chicken has marinated, dredge each piece first in the seasoned flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and coat again in the flour mixture for a double layer of breading.
5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 325°F (163°C). Carefully lower the chicken into the oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, which should take about 17 minutes. Make sure to maintain the oil temperature and avoid overcrowding the pan.
6. While the chicken is frying, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lime juice, spicy chili powder, and curry powder. Adjust the seasoning to your preference for a tangy, spicy kick.
7. Once the chicken is done, transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil, retaining the crunch.
8. Serve the fried chicken hot, drizzled or served alongside the spicy dressing prepared earlier.
