Delicious Spicy Fried Chicken Recipe with Southern Flavor

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Marinate Chicken

    In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken and marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

    For best results, marinate overnight.
  2. Prepare Flour Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

    Adjust spices to your heat preference.
  3. Coat Chicken

    Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring even coating.

    Press the flour onto the chicken for a thicker crust.
  4. Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

    Use enough oil to cover the chicken halfway.
  5. Fry Chicken

    Carefully place chicken in the hot oil. Fry for about 8-10 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

    Maintain oil temperature for even cooking.
