Here’s a kid-friendly version of a homemade KFC-style fried chicken recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken drumsticks or chicken pieces of your choice
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.

2. Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl.

3. Dip each chicken piece into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.

4. Roll the chicken piece in the breading mixture, making sure it is well coated.

5. Place the coated chicken pieces on a plate or tray and let them rest for about 10 minutes to allow the coating to adhere.

6. Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to a temperature of around 350°F (175°C).

7. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pan.

8. Fry the chicken for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until it turns golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

9. Use tongs to transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

10. Allow the chicken to cool slightly before serving to kids, ensuring it’s at a safe temperature to eat.
