Equipment
- 1 Frying pan
- 1 Bowl
Ingredients
- 3- 5 chicken thighs
- ½ cornflour
- ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Sunflower/Vegetable oil - a splash
- Any other seasoning
Instructions
- Begin by using a paper towel to pat the chicken thighs dry. Season them generously with salt and pepper, and then let them marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and cornstarch until well combined.
- After marinating, coat the chicken on both sides with the cornstarch mixture. Fry the chicken for 13-20 minutes until it turns golden brown. Be sure to watch it closely and turn it regularly for even cooking. Once done, place the fried chicken on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Enjoy your mouth-watering fried chicken!
Notes
- Paper towels: Pat the chicken with a paper towel before seasoning to ensure they are extra crispy.
- Oil: Make sure the oil is at medium to high heat to avoid burning.
- Time: If you're short on time, skip the marinating step. Season the thighs, coat them in cornflour, and fry.
- Frying: Use a deep fryer or shallow fry the chicken in a pan for the best results.
