This authentic Crown Fried Chicken recipe features juicy, tender chicken with a crispy, golden-brown coating, seasoned to perfection. Perfect for a family meal or gathering!
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs or drumsticks
- 2 cups buttermilk for marinating
- 1 cup all-purpose flour for coating
- 1 tablespoon paprika for seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine chicken and buttermilk. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Prepare the Coating:
- In another bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Fry the Chicken:
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Dredge marinated chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Carefully place chicken in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes on each side. Ensure chicken is cooked through.
Drain and Serve:
- Remove chicken from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Marinating Time: For the best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Oil Temperature: Ensure the oil is hot enough to fry but not smoking to avoid burning the chicken.
