RECIPE
Start by marinating the chicken in the buttermilk and pickle juice, this needs at least 2 hours to marinate but ideally over night
Make the mayo by add all the ingredients apart from the oil into a bowl, whisk together then drizzle in the oil bit at a time continually whisking until the mayo forms.
Heat your oil to 160c
Mix the cornflour with some salt and pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika and onion powder
Dredge the chicken in the flour mix making sure there are well coated
Fry in batches so the chicken has plenty of room for 6 mins
Remove the chicken then turn the heat up on the oil to 180c
Fry again for 2 more minutes to make it extra crispy
In a frying pan heat the chilli crisp oil before tossing the hot nuggets into the chilli crisp
Serve immediately with the mayo
