Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or breasts)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Prepare the seasoned flour mixture by combining flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat, enough to submerge the chicken halfway.
- Dredge the marinated chicken in the seasoned flour mixture until thoroughly coated.
