Ingredients
Chicken pieces (legs, thighs, breasts), buttermilk, eggs, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried basil, oregano, celery salt, ground mustard, ground ginger, white pepper, vegetable oil.
Instructions
Marinate chicken in buttermilk and eggs for at least 4 hours or overnight. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and spices. Remove chicken from marinade and coat thoroughly in the flour mixture. Let coated chicken rest for 10–15 minutes. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry chicken in batches for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and cooked through to 165°F internal temperature. Drain on paper towels and rest before serving.
Notes
For extra crispy chicken, double dredge the chicken before frying. Maintain oil temperature while frying to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
