Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionHeat the chicken broth in a medium sauce pot over high heat, seasoning it generously with salt.
Add the chicken thighs to the pan and bring the broth to a simmer.
Cover and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer gently until the chicken is tender, about 40 minutes.
Remove the thighs from the liquid, pat them dry, and set them aside on a platter, covered with foil to keep them warm.
While the chicken is cooking, pour the grapeseed oil into a large pot with high sides, and bring it to 400˚F F high heat.
Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet or over several layers of paper towels (for draining the chicken).
In a shallow dish, combine the flour with the paprika, celery salt, black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and the cayenne.
Use a whisk to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
Combine the warm chicken thighs with the buttermilk in a large bowl, coating them completely.
Dredge the thighs in the seasoned flour.
Then dip the thighs in the buttermilk and dredge them in the seasoned flour once more, to double coat the chicken.
Shake off any excess flour.
Fry the chicken, 2 pieces at a time, in the hot oil until deep golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Drain on the wire rack, and serve immediately.
