Ingredients
Chicken Variety:
- 3 pounds of assorted chicken pieces thighs, legs, breasts, and wings
Buttermilk Marinade:
- 1 cup of buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons of hot sauce
Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon of kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons of paprika
Coating:
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
Frying Oil:
- Vegetable canola, or peanut oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk and egg together and whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
- Take each piece of chicken and dip it into the buttermilk mixture, making sure to coat it evenly.
- Then, transfer the chicken piece to the flour mixture and coat it evenly. Repeat this process for all chicken pieces.
- For the best results, allow the breaded chicken to rest in the refrigerator on a parchment-lined baking sheet for at least 2 hours before cooking.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350 degrees F. Carefully place the chicken into the hot oil, a few pieces at a time, and fry for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the pot or fryer; otherwise, the oil temperature will drop. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve your homemade Publix-style fried chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
