This recipe is Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Super Easy with main ingredient Chicken
INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE BRINE:
1 quart buttermilk
1 egg
1 teaspoon each smoked paprika onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and cracked pepper
1 tablespoon salt
2.5 pounds boneless & skinless chicken thighs
OTHER INGREDIENTS:
2.5 cups all-purpose flour

Avocado oil for frying
INSTRUCTIONS:
FOR THE BRINE:
Add all the brine ingredients, except for the chicken, to a large bowl and whisk well. Add the chicken and let marinate overnight, up to 24 hours in the fridge.
Add enough avocado oil to a pot to come just about halfway up the side. I used a pot that was 10.5 inches wide. You may need more or less oil depending on the size of your pot. Put the heat on medium-low and slowly allow the oil temperature to warm up.
