Crispy fried chicken made at home! So tender and juicy, you’ll want to make this recipe over and over again.

Fried Chicken

After watching fried chicken made over and over again on The Food Network, I decided it was time to make some of my own. I love ordering fried chicken in the summer time and taking it for a picnic dinner. There’s something about crispy fried chicken skin that makes me want more and more! I’m excited to make this one for my family this summer.

Fried Chicken

Ingredients

Marinade

  • 3 c. buttermilk
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 4 lb. chicken thighs, wings, breasts

Batter

  • 1 c. flour
  • 1 c. cornstarch
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 1 3/4 c. water
  • 8-10 c. canola oil

Instructions

  • Prepare marinade by mixing buttermilk, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken and coat well. Cover and refrigerate about 4 hours or overnight. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Allow chicken to sit at room temperature about 30 minutes on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet before frying.
  • Prepare batter by whisking together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in water.

The chicken is so juicy and tender and the skin has a nice crisp to it. This is such a yummy fried chicken recipe! I hope you love it as much as we do.

    I make fried chicken this way too! For a bit of a twist, try seasoning the chicken with a season salt like Johnny’s, Santa Maria’s or plain garlic salt! It’s yummy!
