Time:
Preparation: 15 minutes
Marinating: 4 hours (or overnight)
Cooking: 25-30 minutes
Total: Approximately 4.5-5 hours
Difficulty:
Moderate

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
    2 cups buttermilk
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon paprika
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    Salt and black pepper to taste
    Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
    Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour buttermilk over them. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
    Prepare the Coating:
    In a separate bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
    Heat the Oil:
    Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or Dutch oven to about 1 inch deep. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F (175°C).
    Coat the Chicken:
    Remove chicken pieces from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere. Place coated chicken on a wire rack to set for a few minutes.
    Fry the Chicken:
    Fry chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
    Drain and Serve:
    Remove fried chicken from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
