Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs and buttermilk. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
-
Remove the chicken thighs from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drain off. Dredge each thigh in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oil is at least 2 inches deep.
-
Carefully place the chicken thighs, skin-side down, into the hot oil. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Flip the chicken thighs and continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
-
Remove the fried chicken from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
