A super simple weeknight dinner, these Fried Chicken Thighs are easy to prepare and quick to cook! I think the smell of fried chicken speaks to something in all of us. It takes me right back to watching my mom fry batches of chicken wings when I was a little girl. And now my kids are watching me do the same!
I keep this fried boneless chicken thighs recipe nice and simple, with a yummy paprika and garlic seasoning adding all the extra flavor you need. I normally use thighs when frying chicken as I think they stay juicier than chicken breasts.
And make sure to remove the bones and skins first so they’re real easy to eat too!
To make Fried Chicken Thighs, you will need the following ingredients:
Add the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a large resealable freezer bag. Seal and shake to mix the ingredients.
Use paper towels to pat the chicken dry and add to the plastic bag. Shake the bag to coat the thighs in the seasoning.
Add the oil to a large pan and heat to 350°F.
Carefully place the thighs in the hot oil and use a spatter guard to cover the pan. Fry for about 20 minutes, turning every now and again, until the thighs have turned golden brown.
Transfer the thighs to paper towel-lined plates to absorb the excess fat.
Use this easy Fried Chicken Thighs recipe next time you’re planning to fry up some chicken and bring the best flavor possible from the chicken thighs! If you’re posting any chicken photos, don’t forget to tag #cookmerecipes!
