Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Place chicken thighs in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.
- Carefully place chicken pieces in hot oil and fry for 6-8 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Drizzle garlic butter over the fried chicken and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
For an extra crispy crust, double coat the chicken by dipping it back into the buttermilk and flour mixture before frying.
