Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well. Dip each chicken thigh into buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the coated chicken thighs to the hot oil. Fry for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C). Remove from oil and let drain on paper towels.
Make the Hot Honey Sauce
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and hot sauce. Stir until well mixed and warmed through. Adjust the spiciness by adding more hot sauce to taste.
Serve
Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the fried chicken thighs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
