Ingredients

• 8 pieces Chicken pieces (drumsticks, thighs, wings, or breasts)
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 large Eggs
• 6 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly clean and pat dry the chicken pieces. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned flour mixture.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs until smooth. This will serve as the wet dip.

Step 4

Prepare the breading station by setting up three shallow bowls or pans: one with plain flour, one with the buttermilk-egg mixture, and one with the seasoned flour mixture.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-frying thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.

Step 6

Dip a chicken piece first into the plain flour, coating it lightly. Shake off any excess.

Step 7

Next, immerse the chicken into the buttermilk-egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 8

Then, generously coat the chicken piece in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to create a thick layer.

Step 9

Repeat steps 6 through 8 for a second and third round, ensuring each chicken piece is triple-dipped for extra crunch.

Step 10

Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature.

Step 11

Cook each piece for 10-12 minutes (depending on the size), turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 12

Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack placed over a baking sheet to drain excess oil and stay crispy.

Step 13

Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken pieces.

Step 14

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or sides. Enjoy your crispy, triple-dipped fried chicken!
