Chicken 🍗 is a crispy, golden-brown chicken dish with a juicy interior. It’s a classic comfort food enjoyed worldwide.
Fried
Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken pieces (drumsticks, thighs, or wings)
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice)
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken
- Soak chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
- Prepare the Coating
- In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- Coat the Chicken
- Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge in the flour mixture.
- Press flour onto the chicken to form a thick coating.
- Fry
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 175–180 °C (350 °F).
- Fry chicken pieces in batches for 12–15 minutes (depending on size) until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve
- Serve hot with fries, coleslaw, or dipping sauce.
✅ Tip: For extra crispy chicken, double dredge: dip in flour → buttermilk → flour again before frying.
I can also provide a oven-baked version that’s crispy but healthier if you want. Do you want me to share that?
