Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 8)
Coarse salt and pepper
1 clove garlic, minced and crushed into a paste with the flat side of a chef's knife
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/3 cup peanut oil, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • Season chicken with coarse salt and pepper, then rub with garlic. Let sit 15 minutes. In a large zip-top bag, combine flour, paprika, cayenne, and fine salt. In batches, add chicken and shake well until evenly coated. If you have time, let chicken sit 15 minutes.
  • In a 10-inch heavy skillet, heat oil over medium until it reaches 365 degrees. The oil is ready when a little flour dropped in bubbles and sizzles steadily.
  • Shake excess flour off a piece of chicken, then carefully place in oil, skin side down. Repeat, adding just a few more pieces to skillet (do not crowd pan). Adjust heat to keep a steady sizzle and maintain 365 degrees. Cover and cook until chicken is browned on bottom, about 7 minutes. Carefully flip each piece, then cover and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
  • Drain chicken on paper towels. Repeat with remaining chicken, replenishing and reheating oil between batches, if necessary.
