Ingredients:

– 2 pounds of chicken thighs
– 2 cups buttermilk
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon oregano
– ½ teaspoon ground cumin
– Salt, to taste
– Canola oil, for frying
– Flour, for coating

Method:

1. Start by marinating the chicken thighs in the buttermilk. Add in the garlic powder, oregano, and cumin and stir until everything is evenly combined. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for 1 hour.

2. Take the chicken out of the fridge and season with salt. Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Coat the chicken with the flour, making sure each piece is evenly covered. Shake off any excess flour and carefully drop the chicken into the hot oil.

4. Fry the chicken for 8-10 minutes, flipping the pieces over halfway through. The chicken should be golden brown in color when done.

5. Place the fried chicken on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve with your choice of side dishes and enjoy!
