Description
A nostalgic and delicious fried chicken recipe that brings comfort to your dinner table.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken pieces (legs, thighs, breasts)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat, ensuring enough oil to submerge the chicken halfway.
- Dredge marinated chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
- Carefully place dredged chicken into hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Turn occasionally until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove chicken from oil and drain on paper towels before serving hot.
Notes
For an extra-crunchy coating, dip the chicken back into buttermilk after the first dredge in flour for a second dip.
