Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Argo® Corn Starch
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Start by marinating the chicken in buttermilk for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and tenderness.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, corn starch, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each piece for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest on a wire rack or paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- For a finishing touch, you can brush on additional cayenne for more heat if desired.
