Best Southern Fried Chicken Batter

Southern Fried Chicken Batter Recipe

Yield: Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken pieces (breasts, thighs, drumsticks, or wings)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon salt
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
   • Begin by cleaning your chicken pieces and patting them dry with paper towels. This helps the batter stick better to the chicken.
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. This blend of spices will give your chicken a flavorful and crispy coating.
   • In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs together until well combined. The buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and tenderizes the chicken, while the eggs help the flour mixture adhere to the chicken.
2. Battering the Chicken:
   • Dip each piece of chicken into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow the excess to drip off.
   • Next, dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to get a good coating. Shake off any excess flour. For extra crunch, you can repeat this step, double-dipping the chicken in the buttermilk and flour mixtures.
