Method
Fried Chicken
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Flour Mix
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Set aside.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Coat the Chicken
Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the surface to create a good coating.

Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil. Fry for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
