Crispy chicken canapés
A simply brilliant crispy chicken canapé recipe from Marcus Wareing combines buttermilk-soaked, crispy-fried pieces of chicken with a delectable mustard mayonnaise. The coating mix makes a fairly large batch, so simply buy a few more chicken thighs if you want to scale up the recipe for larger events.

To make the coating for the chicken, toast the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, celery seeds and pepper in a dry pan and freshly grind together

- 1 tbsp of garlic powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper

Toss the chicken in the seasoned flour, then carefully coat in the buttermilk

Place the chicken back into the flour mixture for a second coating. The chicken must be fully coated, but it should be uneven as this will produce a crispier end result
