When frying chicken, you should fry chicken thighs rather than chicken breast. This is because chicken thighs have more fat than the breast, so when fried, they become juicier and taste even better.
So, let's learn together how to fry chicken thighs so they turn out crispy on the outside and juicy inside.
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 pieces of chicken thighs
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of ground black pepper
- 3 teaspoons of peanut oil
Step-by-step instructions
1. Rub the chicken thighs with salt and ground black pepper, kneading until well coated.
2. Heat an oven-safe pan on the stovetop and add 3 teaspoons of oil. Once the oil is hot, arrange the chicken pieces in the pan and fry for about 15 minutes.
Place the chicken skin side down against the bottom of the pan. To ensure even cooking, shake the pan occasionally instead of using a spatula.
3. Once done, place the pan into an oven preheated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 15 minutes.
4. After the set time is up, flip the chicken pieces over to the other side and return them to the oven for another 5 minutes.
Once the time is up, you'll have delicious, juicy fried chicken ready to enjoy.
