Fried Chicken Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- 2
Prepare for Frying
In a large shallow dish, add the flour. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off, and dredge each piece in the flour until well coated.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes per side, depending on the size of the pieces.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
