Crispy Buttermilk Fried Chicken
How to make Crispy Buttermilk Fried Chicken Recipe - Everyone needs to indulge in good, down-home fried chicken from time to time. I have developed a perfectly crisp chicken that will have you savoring every bite. Don’t be afraid of the hot sauce it adds a punch of flavor without a noticeable heat. The kids love hopping up to the counter with me to help dip the chicken into each bowl. Enjoy this dish with Creamy Weeknight Mashed Potatoes or Skillet-Baked Mac and Cheese. 64 ounces vegetable oil
Ingredients:
1 pound chicken drumsticks
1 1⁄4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 cup all-purpose flour
1⁄2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Method:
1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F.
2. Season the drumsticks with 1⁄2 teaspoon of the salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon of the pepper. Add the buttermilk and hot sauce to a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the drumsticks, covering them in buttermilk.
3. Add the flour, paprika, 1⁄2 teaspoon of the remaining salt, and the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper to a large bowl and mix to combine.
4. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip back into the bowl, then dredge in the flour, turning to coat. Dip back into the buttermilk and back into the flour, turning and coating all sides. Carefully drop the chicken into the hot oil and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a brown paper bag or paper towel–lined plate to drain. Season with the remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon salt and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
