Bread the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let excess liquid drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until well coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Fry the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
