- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring a thorough coating.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
