Ingredients

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 2 cloves garlic, grated
  3. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  4. 3/4 cup milk
  5. 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  6. 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  7. 4 skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts (3 pounds), halved crosswise
  8. 1 bulb fennel, cored and thinly sliced, plus 1 tablespoon chopped fronds
  9. 1 romaine heart, thinly sliced
  10. 1 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
  11. 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  12. Juice of 1 lemon
  13. 1 1/2 cups peanut oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, half of the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl; set aside. Combine the milk, paprika, oregano, the remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in another large bowl. Add the chicken, turning to coat; set aside 15 minutes.
  2. Toss the fennel and fronds, romaine, parsley, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.
  3. Heat the remaining 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil and the peanut oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture; add to the skillet skin-side down. Fry 8 minutes. Flip; reduce the heat to medium high. Fry until golden and cooked through, 8 more minutes. Transfer to a rack. Blot with paper towels; season with salt. Serve with the salad.
