Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour divided
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 tablespoons butter for gravy
  • 1 1/2 cups milk for gravy
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt for gravy

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk with half of the flour, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 1 hour.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and dredge in the remaining flour. Shake off excess.
  • Fry the chicken in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • For the gravy, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the leftover flour mixture from the chicken dredging.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk, bring to a simmer, and stir continuously until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and additional black pepper to taste.
  • Serve the fried chicken with the creamy gravy poured over the top or on the side.

    It just seems like too much oil to me. Baking is healthier right? I think I’ll pass.

    I’m not sure about the buttermilk marinating…Does it really make that much of a difference? I usually just use egg.
