Fried Chicken Burrito Ingredients
Method
Fried Chicken Burrito Directions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Fry the Chicken
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. In a separate bowl, mix together flour and cornstarch. Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture. Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
