I just made these for lunch today! I had accidentally thawed some boneless skinless chicken thighs the other night and didn’t have a plan for them. A fried chicken sandwich sounded good, and I remembered this recipe existed. So fyi if anyone is curious, they totally work with thighs! The batter is so crunchy! I must be paleo-frying too much because real flour frying just stayed on so much better.
My changes:
- I didn’t pound them out or cut the thighs or anything, and they cooked a little longer than breasts might have (maybe more like 6-7 min? I checked them with my thermometer for around 160-165).
- I also skimped on the 1 hour marinade time and just marinaded them while I prepped the Mayo and batter (maybe 15 min?)
- I also didn’t have buttermilk but used the vinegar + regular milk trick and it seemed liked it worked great!
This is going to sound like a dumb question but I don't deep fry often (love the air-fryer!) and would love to know how you dispose of the used oil after frying?
These look amazing!! I might have to wait till it's a bit nicer outside so I can use the burner on my grill. I hate frying at home on the stove because it seems to make such a mess from splattering. Anyone have any frying quick cleanup tips & tricks?

Will repeat this again for sure!!
How long should the chicken need to cook in the oven after it’s been fried?
fun!
This looks so good! What are your thoughts on baking these instead of frying if I'm trying to save a little time?
Omg YUM can’t wait.
I've said it before. I don't know how a person can be as stinking creative as you are! But I'm taking in all your recipes and articles . . . .
