  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • whole cut up chicken
  • 1 c. flour (all purpose)
  • 2 cups peanut oil (for frying)

directions

  • 1

    Season chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Put in ziplock bag with 1 cup butter milk and soak over night.

  • 2

    Heat 2 cups oil in a large cast iron skillet. Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge in flour.

    Fry until golden brown about 8 mins per side.

notes

I usually fry the breasts and thighs first, they take longer to cook. I also use a deep sided cast iron pan to fry the chicken.
