Ingredients Required: To embark on this culinary adventure, gather the following ingredients:

• For the Chicken:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, patted dry
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Canola oil for frying (around 4 cups)

• For Serving:

  • 1-2 ounces of your chosen premium caviar (kaluga caviar, Siberian sturgeon, or royal osetra caviar)
  • Crème fraîche or sour cream
  • Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish
  • Lemon wedges, for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and chicken thighs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
   
   
2. Prepare the coating: In another bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
   
   
3. Set up the frying station: Heat oil in a Dutch oven or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Line a plate with paper towels for draining.
   
   
4. Dredge and fry: Dip each chicken thigh into the beaten egg, then thoroughly coat in the flour mixture. Carefully lower the chicken pieces into the hot oil and fry for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to the prepared plate to drain.
   
   
5. Assemble and serve: Arrange the fried chicken on a platter. Top each piece with a generous dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream. Carefully spoon your chosen premium caviar over the crème fraîche, forming a small mound. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs and lemon wedges.
