Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the breaded chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.
