Here is a recipe on how to make grilled fried chicken

 

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs, skin-on
• 4 chicken drumsticks
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce, optional
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional and for extra heat
• Oil for frying, vegetable or peanut
• Wood chips for grilling, optional for smoky flavor

Instructions:

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

1.  In a large bowl, mix together buttermilk and hot sauce.
2.  Add chicken pieces to the bowl and make sure they are well-coated with the buttermilk mixture.
3.  Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight for more tender chicken and flavor.

Step 2: Prepare the Grill

1. Adjust your grill to medium heat.
2. If you will be using wood chips to help your meat infuse a good deal of smoke flavor, steep the chips in water for about 30 minutes and then place them on the grill grates prior to grilling the chicken.

Step 3: Grill the Chicken

1. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade and allow it to drip a little.
2. Place chicken pieces on the grill, skin side down.
3. Grill about 15 minutes per side, to reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) with a nice grill mark on it. This makes sure the chicken is a little half-cooked and smoky.

Step 4: Preparing the Coating

1. While the chicken is grilling, in a large bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using.
2. After grilling your chicken, dust each piece with a flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.

Step 5: Fry the Chicken

1. Heat up the oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F.
2. With great care, dip the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Be very careful not to overcrowd your pan.
3. Fry chicken 8-10 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Use a meat thermometer and check that the internal temperature of the chicken stays at 165°F {74°C}.

Step 6: Drain and Serve

1. Once the chicken is fried, take it out from the oil, and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to let the excess oil drain off.
2. Let it rest for some minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

1. Grilled fried chicken will go nicely with coleslaw, potato salad, cornbread, or grilled vegetables.
2. Pair it with dipping sauce, such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue.

Enjoy your yummy grilled fried chicken!
