Method
Fried Chicken
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Prepare for Frying
In a shallow dish, add the flour. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge each piece in flour until fully coated.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. Fry the chicken in batches, cooking each piece for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Prepare the Biscuit Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined.

Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter and place on a baking sheet.
