Chicken Marinade
Method
Frying Instructions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- 2
Prepare the Coating
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well to incorporate.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
