Fried Chicken

If there’s one thing that almost everyone can agree on, it’s that fried chicken is a dish that’s hard to resist. It’s crispy, juicy, and oh-so-satisfying. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken, cut into pieces
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup buttermilk
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and set aside.
2. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk.
3. Coat each chicken piece with the seasoned flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk and back into the flour mixture. Make sure the chicken is well coated.
4. Pour enough oil into a skillet to come up about 1/2 inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
5. Carefully add the chicken pieces to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the size of the pieces).
6. Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
