Ingredients:

- 15x Doritos ( I used flaming hot)

- 3x chicken thighs (de-boned)

- 1x cup buttermilk (or milk with 1x tbsp vinegar)

- 1x egg

- salt and pepper

- paprika

- onion powder

- garlic powder

- 0.5 cups corn flour

- 1.5 cups plain flour

- 1x tsp baking powder

Flavour hacks:

* add slices of dill pickle for acidity

* a drizzle of Blend smoked honey (can be sourced in Australia)

* toast waffles for a contrast of sweetness

Method:

- mix dry ingredients with crushed Doritos

- brine the thighs in the buttermilk and beaten egg for 4-24 hours

- then coat thighs in dry mix

- rest on wire rack for 10 mins (adheres to chicken better)

- deep fry at 170c until caramel in colour and internal temp is at least 165F/74C
