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.

Serve your crispy Nashville Hot Chicken with pickles, on a bun, or alongside your favorite sides. Enjoy this spicy, crunchy delight that is sure to impress your friends and family!
