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
  1. Season chicken pieces and place in large Ziploc bag or pan.
  2. Mix 4 c. of buttermilk with the ¼ c. salt, sugar and black/red pepper and garlic powder, your amount you like.
  3. Pour over chicken and marinade for at least 6 hours or overnite.
  4. Drain the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
  5. 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.
  6. In a bowl put remaining 1 c. butter milk and in another bowl mix the flour with seasonings.
  7. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk and back in flour mixture. Shake off excess.
  8. Place gently into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pieces. Cook 15 minutes, turning once.
  9. 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.
