Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Season the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Breading Mixture
- 2
Prepare the Breading
In one bowl, add the all-purpose flour, and in another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine the bread crumbs and dried oregano. Set up a breading station with these three bowls.
Breading the Chicken

Coat the Chicken
Take one marinated chicken thigh, dip it into the flour to coat, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the bread crumbs. Press the bread crumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick. Repeat with the remaining chicken thighs.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken thighs to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Drain the Chicken
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
