Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces and buttermilk. Make sure each piece is fully coated with buttermilk. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
-
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing any excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to coat it thoroughly.
-
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
-
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).
-
Remove the chicken from the oil and transfer it to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
Serve hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
