Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for crispy fried chicken thighs with bone and skin:
Crispy Fried Chicken Thighs
INGREDIENTS:
4-6 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for spiciness)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil for frying
INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare the Chicken:
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Prepare the Coating:
In a bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoned flour mixture.
Coat the Chicken:
Dredge each chicken thigh in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to coat it thoroughly. Shake off any excess flour.
Rest the Chicken:
Place the coated chicken thighs on a plate and let them rest for about 10-15 minutes. This helps the coating adhere better.
Heat the Oil:
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat enough vegetable oil to submerge the chicken thighs to 350°F (180°C).
Fry the Chicken:
Carefully place the chicken thighs into the hot oil, skin side down. Fry for about 8-10 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Rest:
Place the fried chicken thighs on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve:
Serve the crispy fried chicken thighs hot. They’re delicious on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
Enjoy your crispy fried chicken thighs!
