Popeyes 2 Pc Signature Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Marinade:
- 2 chicken pieces (drumsticks or thighs)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional, for added spice)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Breading:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp baking powder (helps with crispiness)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For Frying:
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces to the mixture and coat them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the Breading:
- In a separate shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well until all spices are evenly distributed.
- Coat the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade and let the excess liquid drip off.
- Dredge each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breading sticks well. Coat evenly, then shake off any excess flour.
- Fry the Chicken:
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. The oil should reach around 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place the chicken pieces into the hot oil, being mindful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve:
- Enjoy your crispy, flavorful Popeyes-inspired chicken with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, biscuits, or coleslaw!
