Good Ole Fried Chicken
Ingredients
- 3-5 lbs. of bone-in chicken pieces
- 5 c. buttermilk
- ¼ c. salt
- 3 T. sugar, optional
- Black pepper, red pepper, garlic powder
- Peanut oil or vegetable oil
- 2-3 c. all-purpose flour
- Salt, red/black pepper, garlic powder
Instructions
- Season chicken pieces and place in large Ziploc bag or pan.
- Mix 4 c. of buttermilk with the ¼ c. salt, sugar and black/red pepper and garlic powder, your amount you like.
- Pour over chicken and marinade for at least 6 hours or overnite.
- Drain the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
- In your chicken fryer, pour enough oil that is at least 2” deep. Heat to 350 degrees. It is good to have a thermometer to watch that.
- In a bowl put remaining 1 c. butter milk and in another bowl mix the flour with seasonings.
- Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk and back in flour mixture. Shake off excess.
- Place gently into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pieces. Cook 15 minutes, turning once.
- Drain on wire rack set over paper towels. You can sprinkle chicken with a little extra salt if you like at this point. The internal temperature of breasts should be 180 and the legs/thighs at 170.
Notes
*****Leftover fried chicken to me is just as good. I like to make fried chicken salads. It is wonderful! Debone chicken and remove skins and use in other dishes if you like.
