Method

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. In another bowl, soak chicken thighs in buttermilk for 30 minutes.
  3. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, pressing to coat evenly.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Fry chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
  6. Before serving, check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 74°C (165°F) with a food thermometer.
