Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Prepare the Coating
In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and let excess buttermilk drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Fry the Chicken
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side. Remove and place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
