This acclaimed recipe for the best crispy fried chicken will impress and delight everyone at your table. Prepare to savor the irresistible crunch and succulent tenderness of each mouthwatering piece, knowing you've mastered the art of creating perfectly crispy fried chicken.

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ to 3 pounds (1.1 to 1.4 kg) chicken pieces (such as drumsticks, thighs, and wings)
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken pieces, making sure they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This step will help tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.

  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). This will be the seasoned coating for the chicken.

  4. Take one piece of chicken at a time from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and coat it thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture.

Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.

  5. Once the oil has reached the desired temperature, carefully add a few pieces of chicken to the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken in batches, if necessary. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

  6. Using tongs, transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Preparation time: 15 minutes Marinating time: 2 hours Cooking time: 15 minutes Total time: 2 hours 30 minutes Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil (for brushing)

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

  2. Place the pork chops in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring that all sides are coated. Marinate the pork chops in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.

  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare it for direct grilling.

  4. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Set aside the remaining marinade for later use as a glaze.

  5. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium. Baste the pork chops with the reserved marinade occasionally during the cooking process.

  6. Once the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness, transfer them to a platter and tent with foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

  7. While the pork chops are resting, transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.

  8. Brush the thickened marinade glaze over the rested pork chops, ensuring they are well coated.

  9. Serve the barbecued pork chops hot, accompanied by your favorite sides like grilled vegetables, coleslaw, or roasted potatoes. Enjoy!

Optional: For an extra smoky flavor, you can add a handful of soaked wood chips or chunks to the charcoal while grilling, or use a smoker box with a gas grill.

Note: It's important to monitor the pork chop's internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure safe consumption.

Prepare to be amazed by the tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken breasts that emerge from your oven. This simple yet effective recipe guarantees mouthwatering results, providing you with a delicious and healthy protein option for your meals.
