Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pint Buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon dried garlic
1 teaspoon dried onion
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
Corn oil for frying

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel.
  • In a large bowl add the buttermilk, salt, dried garlic, dried onion, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Then give it a good whisk.
  • Now place the chicken thighs into the buttermilk marinade and submerged them for about 30 minutes and up to 4 hours (the longer, the better).
  • Meanwhile make the flour dredge by combing all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a large bowl.
  • Now dredge the chicken thighs into the flour mixture and place them on a baking sheet to rest for about 30 minutes. This will give an adequate amount of time for the flour coating to adhere to the chicken thighs.
  • Now bring a few inches of corn oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to medium heat (350 degrees F). Now fry the chicken thighs until golden brown on both sides. Then place them on a wire rack with a baking sheet beneath.
  • Now finish the chicken thighs in the oven at 380 degrees for 40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. I highly recommend checking for doneness with a meat thermometer.

6 chicken thighs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 pinches cayenne pepper, divided, or to taste
2 pinches garlic powder, divided, or to taste
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 large eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, 1 pinch cayenne, 1 pinch garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
  • Whisk eggs in a second bowl.

  • Dip chicken thighs into the flour mixture, followed by beaten eggs, and then into the panko mixture. Transfer to the prepared pan.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to remove the skin from the chicken thighs. This will help you get a clean, even cut.
  • Marinate the chicken thighs for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
  • Use a combination of wet and dry ingredients in the marinade. This will help the chicken to brown and crisp on the outside while staying juicy and flavorful on the inside.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the chicken. This will help the chicken to cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken to make sure it has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Skinless fried chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your skinless fried chicken thighs turn out perfectly every time. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw. Enjoy!
