BUFFALO FRIED CHICKEN HOT TACOS

LOVE TACOS

These are so cheeky and mouthstuffingly gorgeous, a lovely crispy corn taco shell stuffed with crispy shredded fried chicken, crisp lettuce, pickled jalapenos, shredded cheese, hot hot sauce and a lime sour cream drizzle, very naughty!

These were a really quick assemble from leftovers in the fridge, great for a quick meal that eats like you slaved over a stove.  This is the sort of Ta da meals you want to pull out of the fridge when unexpected visitors drop by, keeping your culinary genius status.

Prep time 5-20 minutes (fridge or freshly made) / Cooking time if freshly made 10 minutes

Ingredients

(serves 4 +)

12 corn tacos grilled

4 Southern fried chicken tenders

(want to make your own recipe below)

1/2 ice berg lettuce shredded

1 cup shredded cheese

1 jar pickled jalapenos

1 bottle of hot hot sauce

1 tub sour cream

1 lime juiced

Making your own Fried Chicken Ya!

200ml buttermilk and 2 tbsp hot sauce in a ziplock bag

(If you have time marinate the chicken in the above 30 mins - 2hrs) 

4 chicken fillets

100g plain flour in a bowl

1 egg beaten in a bowl

50g semolina in a bowl

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp celery salt or sea

1/4tsp garlic powder

1 ltr nut oil for frying chicken

Heat your oil to 180 degrees C in a shallow pan, take the chicken from the buttermilk and toss in the semolina, add all the seasonings to the flour and mix well, take each chicken tender and coat in the egg, then the seasoned flour, dust off and fry gently for around 4 minutes until crispy and golden, place on a rack to drain.  That's it...  Mix the lime juice with your sour cream and your ready to assemble and go...

Lay your tacos (3) on each plate and then assemble your layers of ingredients, I do have a specific order, this is so that each bite gets all of the flavours and also keeps the ingredients crisp, I like to layer the lettuce first, then the shredded chicken and drench this in hot hot sauce, top this with the shredded cheeses, sometimes I pop this under the grill for a couple of moments to melt, not always depends on time and mood!  Next has to be a little more hot sauce, then the jalapenos and finished off with the lime sour cream drizzle and if I have fresh coriander to hand a handful of that sprinkled over to finish.

That's it enjoy these gorgeous tacos...
