Provided by รก-48383

Number Of Ingredients 13

COATING:
1 large 3 to 3-1/2 pound fryer,cut into pieces
2 c buttermilk
1 large onion,sliced
1/4 c fresh mixed, chopped herbs(parsley,tarragon,thyme) or a teaspoon each of dried herbs
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper powder
2 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 c high smoke point oil such as canola or peanut

Steps:

  • 1. Soak chicken overnight (at least 8 hours and up to two days) in buttermilk with onions, herbs, paprika, and cayenne pepper. (Good results are also gotten from soaking chicken in plain yogurt instead of buttermilk). 2. Drain in colander, leaving some herbs on the chicken. In a large, sturdy paper or plastic bag, mix flour with seasonings. Meanwhile, heat 2 cups oil in a large cast iron skillet on medium high heat until a pinch of flour starts to sizzle when dropped in the hot oil (but not so hot that the oil is smoking). Remember to keep a pan lid close by. Have a kitchen fire extinguisher available too. 3. Place chicken pieces in bag with seasoned flour and shake until thoroughly coated. Set coated pieces aside on a cooling rack for 10 to 15 minutes for breading to dry a little. Add chicken to hot oil in pan and fry on one side for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Use tongs to turn the pieces over and fry for another 10-12 minutes, again until golden brown. 4. Important: Keep the oil hot enough to fry the chicken, but not so high that it burns the coating.
