Ingredients of Snoop Dogg Fried Chicken
- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Step-by-Step Guide to Making
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken. Combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
This step ensures that the chicken becomes tender and absorbs all the delicious flavours.
Step 2: Coat the Chicken. Combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture until fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 3: Fry to Perfection Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to approximately 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place a few chicken pieces at a time into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
A meat thermometer ensures the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer the cooked chicken to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Variations and Substitutes of Snoop Dogg Fried Chicken
Here are a few variations and substitutes you can try:
- Spicy Twist: For those who love an extra kick, add a teaspoon of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the marinade or the flour mixture.

While freshly fried chicken is always best, you can prepare the marinade and coat the chicken in the flour mixture ahead of time. Keep the coated chicken in the refrigerator until you’re ready to fry it. This way, you can minimize the preparation time without compromising on flavor.
Can I use boneless chicken for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute bone-in chicken pieces with boneless ones. Just keep in mind that boneless chicken may cook slightly faster, so adjust the frying time accordingly.

Storing:
- Let the fried chicken cool down to room temperature.
- Place the chicken in an airtight container or wrap it tightly with plastic.

Reheating:

- Arrange the fried chicken on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish, leaving space between the pieces.
- Cover the chicken loosely with aluminium foil to prevent excessive drying.
