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.
