Ingredients

  • 2 (pound) chicken, cut into pieces
  • 2/3 (cup) buttermilk
  • 1 (cup) all-purpose flour for coating
  • 1 (teaspoon) paprika
  • 1/2 (teaspoon) salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

  1. Put the flour in a large plastic bag. Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk then, a few at a time, put them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag and shake to coat well. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray and set aside.
  3. Fill a large skillet about 1/3 to 1/2 full with vegetable oil. Heat until hot. Put in a few chicken pieces. Brown the chicken in HOT oil on both sides. When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.
  4. Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts. Keep the finished chicken in a slightly warm oven while preparing the rest.

    We tried this tonight using just boneless and skinless chicken thighs. My husband and son loved it. I am going to see how the left over chicken tastes on a salad and how well it does when reheated.

    Delish! But I used boneless thighs and fried them too long.
