Chef John's Buttermilk Fried Chicken Ingredients: 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (or 3-4 lbs of chicken parts) 2 cups buttermilk 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) Vegetable oil for frying Instructions: Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Ensure all pieces are fully coated in buttermilk. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Prepare the Dredge Mixture: In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to combine. Coat the Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken pieces from the buttermilk, allowing any excess buttermilk to drip off. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour. Double Dredge (Optional): For extra crispy chicken, you can repeat the dredging process by dipping the chicken back into the buttermilk and then into the flour mixture again. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the chicken pieces halfway (about 1 inch deep) over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken in batches if necessary. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C). Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the fried chicken pieces to a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve: Serve the buttermilk fried chicken hot, garnished with your favorite herbs or spices if desired. Enjoy this crispy and flavorful dish!
