Fried Chicken...

I have tried many a fried chicken recipes and this honestly is THE BEST I have come across.

Chicken- I use either drumsticks or chicken breasts cut into big hunks (cooks easier without drying out the chicken)

1 cup buttermilk- put chicken in a ziplock bag and add butter milk. Let set at least an hour (really moistens up the chicken)

1 1/2 cups flour
1 TBSP salt
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp onion powder
mix all together and place in a shallow dish

Veggie oil- for frying

Take chicken out of bag and dredge in flour mixture. Coat it well, but allow access flour to shake off.

Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet, and bring to 350 to 375 degrees (use a thermometer, it's really the only way to get the oil just right!) and cook chicken until done, 6-8 mins. Yummy!!!
