Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or breasts)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1/2 cup buttermilk or yogurt
• Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, curry powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well.
2. Dip each chicken piece into the buttermilk or yogurt, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Shake off any excess.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1 inch deep.
4. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, skin side down, without overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Turn the chicken pieces over using tongs, and fry for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for breasts or 175°F (79°C) for legs and thighs.
6. Remove the fried chicken from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve the fried curry chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside rice, vegetables, or salad.
