Crispy Buttermilk Fried Chicken Thighs
Tender chicken thighs marinated in tangy buttermilk and pan-seared to achieve a golden, shatteringly crisp crust.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
0.25 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tbsp whole wheat flour
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them, ensuring they are fully submerged; marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the whole wheat flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Remove each chicken thigh from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture until evenly coated.
Heat the avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and hot.
Carefully place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the exterior is deeply browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Transfer the chicken to a wire rack to rest for 3 minutes before serving to ensure the crust remains perfectly crunchy.
