Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s dive into marinating that chicken! In my kitchen, I love using buttermilk for chicken as it keeps it juicy and tender. I whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Then, I place my chicken thighs into this flavorful bath, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour, though I prefer to let it marinate overnight for maximum flavor! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
