Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 4 pounds chicken pieces (legs, thighs, wings)
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

For the Honey Butter Sauce

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).

2. Prepare for Frying

In a shallow dish, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing to coat well.

3. Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

4. Fry the Chicken

Carefully add chicken pieces to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry for about 15-18 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

5. Make the Honey Butter Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.

6. Drizzle and Serve

Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Drizzle with honey butter sauce before serving.
