Fried Chicken
Method
Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and chicken thighs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.
- 2
Prepare the Coating
In another bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat and Fry
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until well coated. Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
