Fried Chicken
Method
Preparation
- 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 pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Coating
In another bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- 3
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).
- 4
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, coating thoroughly.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
