Crispy fried chicken that is a family favorite.

In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Marinate the Chicken

In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will be used to coat the chicken.

Prepare the Coating

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Heat the Oil

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour. Carefully place the chicken into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Coat and Fry the Chicken

Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).

Cook Until Golden Brown

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
