This recipe was passed on to me from a county club I used to work at as a teenager. Its so easy and its a delicious meal for the family. The perfect comfort food!
Ingredients:
2 -3 lbs chicken (you can use bone-in or boneless)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt, suited to your taste
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
buttermilk, for marinating
oil (for frying, i use my deep fryer)
Directions:
1. In a strong zip lock bag, add the chicken and enough butter milk to cover. Add the paprika.
2. Squeeze the air out of the bag before sealing. Once sealed mixed the chicken well so that the paprika and buttermilk mix together.
3. Let marinade for a couple hours or overnight.
4. In a bowl thoroughly combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
5. Dredge the chicken in the flour, coating it real good to get a nice crust.
6. Deep fry chicken in oil that has been heated to 350 degrees.
7. Fry chicken for 10-15 minutes until the juices run clear.
8. Drain on paper towels.
9. I love this chicken with corn on the cob and sliced, fried potatoes.
