Description
Crispy, golden pan-fried chicken that is easy to make and delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or breasts)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or other cooking oil
Instructions
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Fry the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- For extra crispy skin, you can let the coated chicken sit for about 10-15 minutes before frying.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
