Ingredients
Method
- Whisk the buttermilk, hot sauce, granulated garlic, onion powder, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a small bowl.
- Place the turkey in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the buttermilk marinade.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and have 2 baking sheets with wire racks set on top.
- Fill a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven with 1 inch vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- Put the flour in a baking dish and season it with the paprika and salt and pepper.
- Put the panko in another baking dish and season it with the chile powder and salt and pepper.
- Beat the eggs in another dish.
- Remove the turkey from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off.
- Dredge the turkey first in the flour, then in the eggs and finally coat with the panko.
- Fry the turkey in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F, 3 tor so minutes per side.
- Remove to one of the prepared baking sheets and keep warm in the oven.
