Fried Chicken with Rice

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken thighs
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 2 cup cooked white rice
• ½ medium cucumber

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 1.5 lb chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, mix 0.5 cup flour, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper.

2. 2

   Dredge each chicken thigh in the flour mixture, pressing to coat evenly. Shake off excess and set aside on a plate.

3. 3

   Heat 0.25 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Carefully place the chicken in the skillet, skin-side down, without crowding.

4. 4

   Fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes per side. The internal temperature should reach 165°F and the coating should be deep golden.

5. 5

   Transfer the fried chicken to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Slice 0.5 cucumber into thin rounds.

6. 6

   Serve the fried chicken over 2 cups cooked white rice with cucumber slices on the side.
