Quick cooking notes

  • Core ingredients include vegetable oil, all-purpose flour, paprika, onion powder.
  • Follow all 6 steps in order for the intended texture and doneness.
  • Ingredient quantities listed below are for 4 servings.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (for coating)
  • 2 tbsp paprika (smoked)
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 800 g chicken thighs (skinless, boneless)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to create the seasoned flour mixture.
  2. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully submerged, and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  5. Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, and cook for about 7-10 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil before serving.
