Popeyes 8 Pc Signature Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 8 pieces of chicken (drumsticks, thighs, wings, or a mix)
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional, for added heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Flour Coating
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for desired heat)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (for extra crispiness)
For Frying
- Vegetable oil (enough to submerge the chicken)
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
- In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk with the hot sauce, salt, and pepper. This will help tenderize the chicken and infuse flavor.
- Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture, making sure they are fully submerged.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best results.
Step 2: Prepare the Flour Coating
- In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, white pepper, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of the spices.
Step 3: Coat the Chicken
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to make sure it’s coated evenly. You can double coat by dipping the chicken back in the buttermilk and then into the flour again for extra crunch.
Step 4: Fry the Chicken
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). You’ll need enough oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces.
- Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Fry for about 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
Step 5: Drain and Serve
- Once fried, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the crispy, juicy chicken hot, and enjoy your homemade version of Popeyes Signature Chicken!
