Recipe View 20 mins Dredge the Chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, immediately dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well. Repeat this process twice for each piece of chicken, returning it to the buttermilk and then the flour for a double coating. This ensures maximum crispiness. (20 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Drain and Serve: Remove the fried chicken from the skillet and place it on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For extra crispy chicken, let the dredged chicken rest on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes before frying.
Adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture for a spicy kick.
Make sure the oil temperature stays consistent throughout the frying process. Adjust the heat as needed.
Avoid overcrowding the pan, or the oil temperature will drop, and the chicken will become soggy.
Brining the chicken for a few hours before dredging will help to keep it moist during frying.
