Southern Fried Chicken

Directions

  1. Prepare the Coating
    In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. This mixture is crucial as it provides a tremendous flavor to the chicken.

  2. Dredge the Chicken
    Take your chicken pieces and dredge them in the flour mixture. Make sure each piece is well-coated to achieve that satisfying crunch on the outside.

  3. Heat the Oil
    In a deep skillet, pour enough oil to cover the bottom—about 1-2 inches deep—and heat it over medium-high heat. You want the oil hot enough to fry the chicken evenly and create a tremendous crispiness.

  4. Fry the Chicken
    Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the chicken in batches for about 10-15 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You can check the internal temperature; it should reach 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.

  5. Drain and Serve
    Once fried, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot, and enjoy the tremendous flavor that comes with each bite.
