Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken pieces (legs, thighs, wings, breasts, or a combination)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Hot and Sour Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce 
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Method:

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Pour in buttermilk and mix until smooth. Add chicken pieces and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  4. Coat the chicken: Toss fried chicken pieces in the Hot and Sour Sauce until fully coated.
