Ingredients
2 cups buttermilk
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. salt
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. black pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
Step 1
Marinate
Cut whole chicken into 8 pieces. In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, add chicken and buttermilk. Refrigerate 1 hour or up to overnight.
Step 2
Shake
In another resealable plastic bag, combine flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Shake to mix well. Move one piece of chicken at a time from marinade into flour mixture. Shake well to coat completely. Place on rack and continue with remaining chicken.
Step 3
Fry
Heat 1 inch vegetable oil in large deep skillet over medium-high heat until deep-fry thermometer registers between 350°F and 375°F. Fry chicken a few pieces at a time so oil doesn’t cool down. Turn chicken to brown evenly and remove when golden and cooked through. Wings should take 10 to 15 minutes, drumsticks 15 to 20 minutes, breasts and thighs 20 to 25 minutes. Chicken is done when meat thermometer inserted in center reaches 170°F. Drain on wire rack to keep chicken crispy.
TIP
TIP: Don’t have a deep-fry thermometer? You can tell when oil is hot enough with a wooden spoon. Stick spoon into oil so that handle touches bottom of pot. Oil will bubble around handle when it’s hot enough for frying.
Step 4
Serve
Serve hot. Or cool chicken to room temperature. Place it in a sealed container and refrigerate to enjoy the next day
