Method
Prepare Chicken
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Dredge the Chicken
In another bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off, then dredge each piece in the seasoned flour until fully coated. Set aside.
Fry Chicken

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the dredged chicken pieces into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Drain the Chicken
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
