Fried Chicken Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- 2
Prepare the Flour Mixture
In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and additional paprika if desired. Set aside.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess flour.
- 5
Fry the Chicken
Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry for about 10-12 minutes per side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Drain and Rest
Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
