Fried Chicken and Sides

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Chicken

    In another bowl, mix flour with additional salt and pepper. Remove chicken from marinade and dredge in the flour mixture until well-coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Grill the Onions

    Slice the onions and grill them on a preheated grill or skillet until soft and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Fries

    Cook fries according to package instructions or fry fresh potatoes until crispy.

  6. 6

    Make the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, mix shredded cabbage and grated carrots. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine.
