Method
Marinating the Chicken
- 1
Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Preparing the Flour Coating
- 3
Mix the Coating
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Frying the Chicken
- 4
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).
- 5
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing it into the coating to ensure an even layer.
- 6
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- 7
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
