Crispy Buttermilk Fried Chicken Thighs
Tender chicken thighs marinated in tangy buttermilk and pan-seared to achieve a golden, crunchy crust that locks in every drop of savory juice.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
0.25 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tbsp whole wheat flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
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 with the buttermilk and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator to tenderize the meat.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, then dredge each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture until well-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 pan and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Transfer the chicken to a wire rack and let it rest for 3 minutes before serving to ensure the crust remains perfectly crisp.
