Popeyes 3 Pc Signature Chicken Recipe
Here’s a simplified recipe inspired by Popeyes’ chicken:
Ingredients:
- For the Chicken:
- 3 pieces of bone-in chicken (legs, thighs, or breasts, skin-on)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika (for color and flavor)
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- For the Flour Coating:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (helps crispiness)
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For Frying:
- Vegetable oil (enough to submerge the chicken pieces)
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk with salt, pepper, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, thyme, and oregano.
- Submerge the chicken pieces in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
- Prepare the Flour Coating:
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
- Coat the Chicken:
- Take the chicken out of the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off.
- Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour, pressing it into the coating to ensure a thick, even layer. Shake off any excess flour.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to fully submerge the chicken.
- Fry the Chicken:
- Carefully lower the chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve:
- Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
