Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken thigh
- 4 pounds chicken drumstick
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- ½ tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 2 quarts neutral cooking oil for frying, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Pour buttermilk in one large bowl. In a second large bowl, mix together flour and seasonings.
- One piece at a time, dust the chicken with flour, then dip in buttermilk. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, making sure it’s thoroughly coated. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray, and cover with wax paper, allowing it to rest until the flour coating is pasty (about 20-40 minutes).
- While chicken is resting, preheat oil, in either a heavy pan on the stove or a deep-fryer, to 375℉. Remove skin from chicken if desired.
- Fry chicken in batches for 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown, and a thermometer inserted into chicken reads between 165-175℉.
- Remove and drain the chicken on paper towels.
Notes
- Storage: Store fried chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
- Store fried chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
- Letting the chicken rest after coating with the flour mixture helps create the crispiest bite.
- Fry the chicken in batches. If you add too many chicken pieces, the temperature of the oil can drop, which means less crispy chicken.
- Drain the chicken on paper towel before serving so that it's not super greasy.
