Fried Chicken Ingredients
Method
Fried Chicken Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- 2
Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
- 3
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- 6
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot.
