Today we’re keeping it classic with some simple and easy fried chicken– the way Granny used to do it. We’re talking buttermilk-marinated chicken thighs, seasoned flour, and good old-fashioned Crisco in a cast-iron skillet. Then I top it off with Dan-O’s Ranch Cheesoning^® and you’ve got one of the crispiest, juiciest bites of chicken you’ll ever have. Let’s fry it up!

Ingredients

¼ cup Dan-O’s Original Seasoning
3 tbsp Dan-O’s Ranch Cheesoning
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups self-rising flour
Crisco shortening (enough to fill cast iron pan 1–2 inches deep)

Preparation Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: Place your boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a large bowl. Pour in buttermilk and coat the chicken thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.
Prepare the Seasoned Flour: In a large bowl, add self-rising flour. Sprinkle in Dan-O’s Original Seasoning. Mix well to combine.
Coat the Chicken: Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting the excess drip off.Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, coating evenly on all sides.Set on a tray or plate to rest while you heat the oil.
Heat the Oil: Add Crisco shortening to a large cast iron skillet. Heat over medium-high until melted and temperature reaches 350°F.
Fry the Chicken: Carefully add chicken pieces to the hot oil. Fry for 3 minutes, then flip. Fry another 2–3 minutes per side, flipping every few minutes until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a drying rack to drain. Internal temperature should be around 130°F — not done yet!
Finish in the Oven: Transfer the chicken (on the rack) to a 350°F oven. Bake for 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 170°F.
Crispy Test & Seasoning Finish: Once done, listen to that crunch! While still hot, sprinkle Dan-O’s Ranch Cheesoning over the top. Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!
