Description

A flavorful dish that encapsulates the warmth of home with its spices and frying methods, perfect for family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • Chicken pieces
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Flour for dredging
  • Vegetable oil for frying


Instructions

  1. Marinate chicken pieces in buttermilk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, allspice, and thyme for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and coat in flour.
  4. Fry chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes per side.
  5. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Notes

Allowing the chicken to marinate overnight intensifies the flavor. Drain cooked chicken on paper towels for extra crispiness.
