Crispy Hot Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In another bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Coat the Chicken

    Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  6. 6

    Prepare the Avocado

    While the chicken is frying, slice the avocados and drizzle with lime juice to prevent browning.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve the crispy hot chicken with avocado slices on the side, garnished with chopped cilantro.
