- Prepare the Coating:In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, white pepper, and cayenne pepper.Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices.
- Coat the Chicken:Remove the marinated chicken thighs from the fridge.Take one piece at a time, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off, and coat it evenly in the flour mixture.Press the flour onto the chicken to form a thick, crispy coating.Place the coated chicken on a tray and let it rest for 10 minutes to help the coating stick.

- Fry the Chicken:Carefully place the chicken thighs into the hot oil, a few pieces at a time, to avoid overcrowding.Fry for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.Check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
