For the Fried Chicken:
4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Fried Rice:
2 cups cooked rice, preferably day-old

Directions:
Marinate the chicken thighs in buttermilk for at least an hour, preferably overnight.
