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

Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. This will be the coating for the chicken.

Fry the Chicken
Heat the cooking oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 8-10 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
