Directions
-
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper together. This combination will form the base of your delicious coating, bringing essential flavors to each and every piece of chicken.
-
Dip the chicken pieces in buttermilk, allowing them to soak and absorb moisture. This step is crucial as the buttermilk provides the necessary moisture that helps the flour coating adhere to the chicken while adding a tremendous depth of flavor.
-
After soaking the chicken, dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated. Ensure every nook and cranny is covered; this crispy armor will create the lovely crunch we all adore.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. The perfect frying temperature is essential for achieving a golden crust. Test if the oil is ready by dripping a bit of the flour mixture into it—if it sizzles, you are good to go!
