Ingredients
- 1.5 kg of chicken pieces (drumsticks, wings, and thighs)
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups of buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Season the chicken: In a large bowl, mix the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the batter: In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a different bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
- Dredge the chicken: Dip each marinated chicken piece first in the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk-egg mix, and then back into the flour. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated.
- Fry the chicken: Heat your oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), add in your chicken pieces. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry each piece until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
- Drain and serve: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Serve your Crispy Golden Fried Chicken hot and enjoy!
Tips
- Marinating the chicken overnight will allow the flavors to penetrate deeper, giving you a tastier result.
- Make sure your oil is at the right temperature before adding the chicken to avoid it absorbing too much oil.
- Using a wire rack to drain the chicken helps it stay crispy.
