Fried Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.

  3. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Remove chicken from the buttermilk and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coat. Shake off any excess flour.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil. Fry in batches if necessary, cooking for about 12-15 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried chicken from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with 3 Cheese Mornay, Cavatappi Noodles, House Hot Sauce, Heirloom Tomato Jam, Texas Pickles, and fresh GUF Micro-Radishes.
