Preparation / Directions:
Wash and pat dry chicken pieces with paper towel; place in large flat dish. Pour buttermilk over chicken; cover and allow to soak at least 1 hour or overnight in refrigerator. Combine coating ingredients in a double strength paper bag and shake chicken pieces, one at a time, to coat well. Lay coated pieces on waxed paper for 15 minutes to dry (will cling better in frying). Meanwhile pour oil to depth of 1/2 inch in an electric skillet (or if you don't have one) use a regular or iron skillet and heat to 350-360-degrees. Fry chicken, several pieces at a time, for about 3 minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcrowd. Reduce heat to 325-degrees; cook chicken, turning occasionally, for 25-35 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken is tender. Remove to paper towel-lined platter. Yield: 4 servings
