Crispy Buttermilk Fried Chicken Thighs
Tender chicken thighs marinated in tangy buttermilk and pan-seared to achieve a golden, shatteringly crisp crust.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
0.25 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tbsp whole wheat flour
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tbsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them, ensuring every piece is fully submerged.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the acidity to tenderize the meat.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the whole wheat flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Remove each chicken thigh from the buttermilk, letting the excess liquid drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture until coated.
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Carefully place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until the exterior is deeply golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Transfer the chicken to a wire rack to rest for 2 minutes, which helps maintain the crunch before serving.
