This Crispy Spiced Chicken Deluxe, a gourmet twist on the traditional Southern fried chicken, brings a perfect blend of heat and flavor to your table. The chicken is marinated in a spiced buttermilk mixture, ensuring every bite is juicy and infused with a blend of garlic, onion, paprika, and a hint of cayenne for that extra kick.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  2. Add chicken breasts to the mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper.
  4. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, coating evenly.
  5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry chicken in batches for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
