Indulge in the crispy, spicy goodness of this Southern-style fried chicken. Marinated in tangy buttermilk and hot sauce, then coated in a flavorful blend of spices, this dish promises to satisfy your cravings for comfort food.
Ingredients: 8 pieces of chicken drumsticks and thighs. 1 cup buttermilk. 1 tablespoon hot sauce. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1 tablespoon paprika. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon onion powder. 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Salt and pepper to taste. Vegetable oil for frying.
Instructions: In a large bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. In another bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, coating evenly. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350F 175C. Carefully place chicken pieces in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry chicken for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer fried chicken to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy the spicy goodness!
