How To Make fried chicken

  • 1
    Mix together spices, and pour half into a gallon size ziplock bag. Pat the chicken with the other half of the spice mix. Pierce with a fork all over.
  • 2
    Pour buttermilk over chicken in a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hrs.
  • 3
    Pat the chicken dry, and place in the ziplock bag with the flour and the spices mixed together inside. In small batches shake the chicken until coated.
  • 4
    Pour oil in fryer or dutch oven, and heat to 360F. Fill about 1/3 of the way with oil.
  • 5
    Cook chicken in small batches, or the temp of the oil will drop which means a soggy crust…yuck!
  • 6
    Cook for 12 – 15 min until golden brown, and the internal temp if 160F or higher. Drain on paper towels.
  • 7
    If necessary you can bake in the oven if the chicken is not up to temp yet. Bake @ 325 until done. Enjoy!
