Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk. Dip each chicken thigh into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken thighs. Fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
