Garlic Fried Chicken Crispy Garlic-Infused Southern Fried Chicken Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts 2 cups buttermilk 6 cloves garlic, minced 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) Vegetable oil, for frying Directions: In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and half the minced garlic. Add chicken and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. In another bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture. Fry chicken in batches for about 8-10 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/75°C). Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with remaining fresh minced garlic while still hot for an extra punch of garlic flavor. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
