Calories 250kcal
Ingredients
- 4 pounds of chicken pieces (drumsticks, thighs, wings, or a mix)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for spice)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Blend together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. This is your seasoned flour mixture.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Roll the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in your deep fryer or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, one at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Harold's Chicken!
