Yummy Buttermilk Fried Chicken

Leave a comment


I used chicken drumsticks. They are small and easy to fry.

Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper over chicken. Massage them a bit.

Place them in a bowl, pour in enough Buttermilk.


Marinate for at least 30 mins.

Here is the Frying powder I used.


It already contains seasoning and spices, that’s why I only used a little salt and black pepper to marinate chicken.

Dip marinated chicken drumsticks in the frying powder. Then dip buttermilk and frying powder again to let chicken double coated by powder.

Fry chicken in oil till golden brown.


Turns out that double coated fried chicken taste more crispy outside and tender inside. Very delicious.

Baked Half Salmon Fish Head 

Leave a comment

This dish may look a bit scary, but it’s very delicious and easy.

First, sprinkle salt and black pepper over both sides of fish head ( I just used half of fish head). Then let it rest for around 30 mins.

Preheat oven to 160 degree C.

Bake for 15 mins. After that, turn to 200 degree C and bake for another 10 mins. If you want the fish skin to be more crunchy, you can prolong the baking time.


Serve with several lemon slices.

The best part is fish skin. It’s very crunchy. You can hear its cracking in your mouth. And the meat is very tender. My husband was deeply amazed.
