Chicken Preparation

Frying

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Whisk until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture. Ensure all pieces are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Preparing the Flour Coating

  1. 3

    Mix the Seasoned Flour

    In a separate large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Frying the Chicken

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large deep fryer or heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 5

    Coat the Chicken

    Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

  3. 6

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry in batches for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  4. 7

    Drain the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken pieces from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
