Ingredients: 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces. 2 cups buttermilk. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 tablespoon salt. 1 tablespoon black pepper. 1 tablespoon garlic powder. 1 tablespoon paprika. 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Vegetable oil, for frying.
Instructions: Place chicken pieces in a large bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. In a shallow dish, mix together flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven to 350F 175C. Dredge marinated chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Carefully place chicken pieces into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove fried chicken from oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot and enjoy!
