Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.
Place the chicken thighs into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring each piece is fully submerged. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for best results.
In a separate large shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring a thorough coating.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers and is hot enough for frying.
Place the chicken thighs in the hot oil, skin-side down, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook the chicken in batches.
Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the soy-free pan fried chicken hot with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh citrus burst.
