| How to Make Fried Chicken Ice Cream |
Ingredients:
For the fried chicken:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups vegetable oil
For the ice cream:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 egg yolks
Instructions:
1. Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
3. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk.
4. Dip the chicken pieces into the buttermilk, then dredge them in the flour mixture.
5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream, milk, and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
9. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks.
10. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks while whisking constantly.
11. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
12. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
13. Let the ice cream mixture cool to room temperature.
14. Once both the fried chicken and ice cream mixture are cooled, mix the fried chicken into the ice cream mixture.
15. Pour the mixture into a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Precautions:
- Be careful when frying the chicken, as hot oil can cause serious burns.
- Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for frying.
