Ingredients
– 4 chicken thighs
– 4 chicken drumsticks
– 2 cups buttermilk
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 2 teaspoons onion powder
– 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. Let’s kick things off by giving those chicken pieces a buttermilk bath, shall we? Pop them into a large bowl filled with buttermilk and let them cozy up in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to soak up all that creamy goodness.
2. In a separate bowl, it’s time to whip up our flavorful coating. Combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a deliciously seasoned flour mixture.
3. After the chicken has had its buttermilk spa session, remove it from the bowl, letting any excess drip off. Now, get ready to give each piece a nice flour hug by dredging them in the flour mixture until they’re thoroughly coated and ready for their sizzling debut.
4. Take out your trusty deep fryer or a large pot and heat up the vegetable oil to a toasty 375°F (190°C). It’s frying time, folks!
5. Carefully place your coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Let them fry away for around 15-18 minutes or until they reach a gorgeous golden brown hue and are cooked through.
6. Once those beauties are looking crispy and irresistible, carefully remove them from the oil and let them drain on some paper towels. Allow them to rest for a few moments to lock in all that juicy flavor before digging in.
Notes
– For an extra kick of heat, feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your taste buds.
– Ensure the oil is at the right temperature before adding the chicken to achieve that perfect crispy coating.
– Don’t rush the frying process; give the chicken time to cook through evenly for juicy, flavorful results.
