Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • Try spicy honey butter for extra richness.
  • Reheat fried chicken in the oven to keep it crispy.
