Recipe Details
Ingredients:- 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 2 cups of buttermilk
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of paprika
- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour over the buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Prepare Coating: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, and thyme. Mix well.
- Coat Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure a good coating.
- Heat Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry Chicken: Fry the chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain: Remove the chicken and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Serve hot with your favorite sides like coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or fries. Enjoy!
