Pollo frito con suero de leche

Ingredientes

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs or drumsticks)
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Vegetable oil for frying

Preparación

1. 1

   Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and cover with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

2. 2

   In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

3. 3

   Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece thoroughly in the seasoned flour, pressing to adhere.

4. 4

   Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the chicken in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 12–15 minutes per batch.

6. 6

   Drain chicken on a wire rack or paper towels, then serve hot.
