Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, mix buttermilk, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Breading the Chicken
In a shallow dish, place flour. In another dish, beat the eggs. Remove chicken from marinade, let excess drip off, then dredge in flour, dip in egg, and return to flour. Ensure the chicken is well coated.

Frying the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken. Fry for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
