Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken pieces under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Soak Chicken in Buttermilk

    In a large bowl, soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Coating

    In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or a fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Coat the Chicken

    Take chicken pieces out of the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

  6. 6

    Fry the Chicken

    Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

  7. 7

    Drain and Rest

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let sit for a few minutes.
