Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks, thighs, or breast pieces
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon White pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk and the egg.
Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
In another large bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, basil, and thyme. Mix well to create the spice blend.
Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip off.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. For extra crunch, you can dip the chicken back into the buttermilk and then back into the flour for a double coat.
Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to submerge the chicken pieces.
Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook each piece for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Transfer the fried chicken to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, flavorful chicken!
