Chicken Preparation
- 1
Marinate Chicken
In a bowl, combine buttermilk, lemon juice, and Tabasco sauce. Add chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight for better flavor).

Bread Chicken
Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, coating evenly.
Frying Chicken

Heat Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry Chicken
Carefully add the breaded chicken to the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 6-8 minutes per side or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Remove chicken from oil and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
