Chicken and Marinade

Method

Marinating and Cooking

  1. 1

    Preparing the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Mix well until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Seasoning the Marinade

    Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to the marinade. Stir until all spices are well incorporated.

  3. 3

    Marinating the Chicken

    Submerge the chicken pieces in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to enhance flavor.

  4. 4

    Heating the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces.

  5. 5

    Frying the Chicken

    Carefully place the marinated chicken pieces into the hot oil in batches. Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden brown.

  6. 6

    Draining the Chicken

    Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

  7. 7

    Serving

    Serve the broasted chicken warm, with your choice of dipping sauces, and enjoy your meal!
