How to Make It
Step 1
Rinse the chicken and pat dry. In a large bowl combine the chicken and buttermilk and let soak for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Step 3
In large bowl add the flour. Dredge the chicken on both sides, shaking of any excess flour. Set the coated pieces aside and repeat with the remaining chicken.
Step 4
In a large pan or Dutch oven, add about 1 inch of oil and heat to 375°.
Step 5
Cooking in small batches, gently place the chicken in the hot oil and fry on both sides until crispy and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes on each side.
