Crispy Fried Chicken35 minutes Servings: 4

We know better than to mess with this classic so we created a recipe that was lactose-free and still achieved the crispy and juicy perfection of buttermilk fried chicken. Simply marinate the chicken in lactose-free kefir instead of buttermilk, and the meat will be tender and flavorful while maintaining a delicious crunch on the outside.

INSTRUCTIONS1. Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and toss them with kefir, 2 tablespoons salt, and a grind of black pepper. Cover and marinate for at least an hour or up to a day. 2. Set a rack on a baking sheet or tray. Combine flour, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a bowl large enough to accommodate the flour and the pieces of chicken. 3. Pour oil into a large, heavy-bottomed cast-iron skillet with high sides and a lid, to a depth of a couple inches. Heat oil over medium-high heat to 350 degrees. 3. Toss the chicken pieces in the bowl filled with the flour mixture and coat well. Shake o� excess flour and fry the pieces of chicken skin-side down, in batches so as not to crowd the pan, for about 5 to 10 minutes, covered by the lid. 4. Remove the lid, turn over the chicken pieces, and cook 5 to 10 minutes more, uncovered, until cooked through and a deep golden brown. When golden brown, remove to the rack to drain and rest.

INGREDIENTS•1 chicken, approximately 3 to 3 1/2 pounds, cut into 10 pieces (or use a mix of thighs and drumsticks)•3 cups Green Valley Creamery Lactose-Free Plain Lowfat Kefir•3 cups peanut oil or a neutral oil like canola, adjust as needed•3 Tbsp. kosher salt •1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour•2 tsp. ground black pepper
