recipe
- Step 1
In a mixing bowl, add the buttermilk, egg, paprika, salt & pepper. Whisk to combine. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl. Let the chicken marinate for 15-20 min in the refrigerator. - Step 2
Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. - Step 3
Add the flour to a dish. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade & dredge the chicken in the flour, making sure to coat the chicken on all sides completely. - Step 4
Carefully test that the oil is hot by adding a splash of flour to see if it sizzles. The oil should be about 350ºF. Add the chicken & cook. Flip the chicken every few min until fully cooked & golden brown, about 12-15 min. Remove the chicken & transfer to a paper towel lined dish. - Step 5
On a toasted bun (optional), spread the pimento cheese onto both halves. Add a handful of lettuce & the fried chicken onto the bottom bun. Close the sandwich & enjoy!
