🥣 Southern Fried Chicken Batter Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp vinegar as a substitute)
2 large eggs
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional but recommended!)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
Chicken pieces of your choice (wings, thighs, drumsticks, etc.)
Oil for frying
👩🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-Step):
1️⃣ Season the chicken first.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Let it sit for 15–20 minutes so the seasoning absorbs into the meat.
2️⃣ Prepare your batter.
Whisk eggs, buttermilk, and a pinch of seasoning. This helps the coating stick and keeps the meat juicy.
3️⃣ Mix the dry coating.
Combine flour, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne, and salt.
This blend is what gives you that classic Southern crunch!
4️⃣ Double-dip method (key for extra crispiness):
- Dip chicken in wet batter
- Coat in seasoned flour
- Dip again in wet batter
- Coat a second time in flour
This creates those iconic crispy ridges.
5️⃣ Heat your oil to about 350°F (175°C).
Make sure it’s hot enough or the chicken won’t crisp properly.
6️⃣ Fry until golden brown.
Cook 10–15 minutes depending on the size, flipping halfway.
Place on a wire rack — not paper towels — to keep the crust crunchy.
🍽️ Serving Ideas:
Pair with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, cornbread, potato wedges, green beans, mac & cheese, or just enjoy it fresh out of the fryer with your favorite dipping sauce.
