Fried chicken made easy! Golden Crown Crispy Fried Chicken Delight brings bold flavor and crunchy perfection to your table. A must-try recipe today!
In a big bowl, stir together buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss in the chicken, ensuring every piece is fully covered in the mixture. Let it marinate for at least 4 hours—or better yet, overnight if you’re aiming for true “Chicken Champion” bragging rights.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and a dash of cayenne pepper. (Pro tip: cornstarch is the secret weapon for that unbeatable crunch!)
Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or sturdy pot and heat it up to 350°F (175°C). Grab your tongs—things are about to get seriously tasty.
Lift the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any extra to drip off before coating. Press each piece firmly into the flour mixture. Go heavy-handed here—the more coating, the crunchier the result.
Fry the chicken in batches, turning occasionally, for 12–15 minutes until it’s golden and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Place the fried chicken on a wire rack positioned over a baking sheet to cool and stay crispy.This trick keeps your chicken crispy and lets any extra oil drain away. (Because soggy chicken? Hard pass.)
Marinating Time: 4 hours (or overnight)
