How to Make Slap Ya Momma Fried Chicken

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk and eggs. Add chicken, making sure it’s fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Step 2: Make the Seasoned Flour

In another bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne.

Step 3: Dredge the Chicken

Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge thoroughly in seasoned flour, pressing the coating onto the chicken.

Step 4: Heat the Oil

Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a heavy skillet or deep fryer.

Step 5: Fry

Fry chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd:

• Bone-in pieces: 12–15 minutes, turning once
• Boneless pieces: 6–8 minutes

Chicken should be golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 6: Drain and Rest
