Fried Chicken

Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Prepare the Coating
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.
