Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Chicken thighs
  • 2 cups Buttermilk For marinating
  • 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 cups Vegetable oil For frying

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Marinate the chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat well.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
  • Fry chicken pieces for about 12 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Drain fried chicken on paper towels before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, double dredge the chicken by dipping back in buttermilk and then in flour mixture again.
