Method
Fried Chicken

Prepare Marinade
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Prepare Coating
In a shallow dish, add the all-purpose flour. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour, ensuring an even coating.

Fry Chicken
