- Marinating the Chicken
Mix buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add chicken pieces and marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for maximum tenderness).
- Preparing the Coating
Combine flour and cornstarch in a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove chicken from marinade and dredge each piece thoroughly, pressing the coating to create a rough, crispy texture.
- Heating the Oil
Heat oil in a deep pot to 170-175°C. Maintaining consistent temperature ensures even cooking and prevents greasy chicken.
- Frying the Chicken Carefully lower
chicken pieces into the oil. Fry for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a rack or paper towels to drain.
- Resting for Crispiness
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes to allow the crust to firm up and excess oil to drain.
- Serving Serve hot with dipping
sauces, fries, or coleslaw.

Crispy Fried Chicken is a beloved classic featuring tender, juicy chicken encased in a crunchy, golden crust. The chicken is first marinated to enhance flavor and moisture, then coated in seasoned flour and fried until perfectly crisp. The result is a satisfying contrast of textures with bold, savory seasoning in every bite.
