Marinating the Chicken

Marinate Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- 4
Bread the Chicken
Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, coating thoroughly. Shake off any excess flour and set aside on a wire rack.
Frying the Chicken
- 5
Heat Oil
In a large, heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.
- 6
Fry Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken thighs to the hot oil, a few pieces at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 8-10 minutes per side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
