Description

A simple and crispy fried chicken recipe that uses vinegar and spices instead of buttermilk for a flavorful twist on a classic dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the white vinegar with salt and let the chicken pieces marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Dredge the marinated chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Fry the chicken pieces for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure the oil is at 350°F. Serve with your favorite sides like coleslaw or fries.
