Fried Chicken Ingredients
Method
Fried Chicken Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and a pinch of salt. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- 2
Prepare the Coating
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat the Chicken
Remove chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- 6
Drain and Serve
Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
