Raspberry Fried Chicken

Connie Veneracion
A jar of not-so-good raspberry jam was mixed with melted butter, ketchup and hot sauce to make a glaze. This raspberry fried chicken turned out to be an absolute delight!
More details about the jam in the notes after the recipe.

Ingredients
  

  • 800 grams chicken thigh fillets skin on
  • 2 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk

For the raspberry glaze

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup raspberry jam
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce we used Sriracha

To fry the chicken

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup corn starch
  • cooking oil for deep frying

Instructions
 

Marinate the chicken

  • Wipe the chicken fillets with kitchen paper then toss with the salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the chicken fillets to a container and pour in the buttermilk. Stir to allow the liquid to seep between the fillets.
  • Cover the container and marinate the chicken in the fridge overnight.

Make the raspberry glaze

  • Dump the butter and raspberry jam into a microwaveable bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds or just until the butter is melted.
  • With a whisk, mix the butter and jam until the oily butter is fully incorporated.
  • Stir the ketchup and hot sauce into the butter-jam mixture, and set aside.

Fry the chicken

  • Heat enough cooking oil in a frying pan to reach a depth of at least three inches.
  • Whisk the flour and starch together in a bowl.
  • Drain the chicken.
  • Dredge each chicken fillet in the flour-starch mixture and fry until golden and crisp.

Glaze the chicken

  • Pour off the oil from the frying pan.
  • Return the pan on the stove and heat the raspberry glaze until large bubbles form around the edges.

  • Arrange the fried chicken fillets in a single layer in the simmering glaze.
  • Allow the chicken to soak up the glaze before flipping over to allow the opposite sides to get plenty of the glaze too.
  • Serve the raspberry fried chicken immediately.

Notes

More than anything, this recipe is an exercise in putting to good use a food item that would have been left forgotten.
The thing about online grocery shopping — something that has become the norm in 2020 — is that you can’t inspect every food item as closely as you’d do if you were holding it in your hand.

So, we bought a jar of raspberry jam, it was bland in every possible way and I just knew that everyone would ignore it. So, I made a glaze with half of the content of the jar. With the addition of butter, ketchup and Sriracha, the nondescript raspberry jam was transformed to a sensational glaze.
