Method
Chicken Preparation

Prepare Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. In another bowl, beat the eggs.

Coat Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade. Dredge each piece in the flour-cornstarch mixture, dip in the beaten eggs, and then coat again in the flour mixture.

Fry Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
