Cooking Instructions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Prepare the Chicken Coating
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Fry the Chicken
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make the Waffle Batter
