Method
For the Fried Chicken
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
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 fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Prepare the Coating
In another bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. This will be your coating mixture.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, pour in the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small bit of flour; it should sizzle immediately.

Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess buttermilk drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Drain and Rest
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
