Sure, here’s a simple recipe for homemade fried chicken:
Ingredients:
– 8 pieces of chicken (drumsticks, thighs, breasts, or a combination)
– 2 cups buttermilk
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon salt
– 1 tablespoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
1. Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Make sure each piece is coated in buttermilk. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
2. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4. Take each piece of chicken out of the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
5. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
6. Fry the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
7. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. Let the fried chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade fried chicken!
Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences, and serve the fried chicken with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or biscuits.
