1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
2 cups of buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for that extra kick!)
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Your favorite side dishes, like mashed potatoes or coleslaw

Instructions

First things first, slather that chicken all over in buttermilk. Let it soak up all that creamy goodness for at least 1 hour. The longer, the better it tastes—just like Aunt Betty’s stories!
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. This will be your seasoned coating that adds major flavor.
Once your chicken has marinated, take each piece and coat it in the flour mixture. Make sure each piece is generously covered; we want every bite to be a flavor explosion!
Heat up vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. You want it to be hot enough that a drop of water sizzles when it hits the pan—this is crucial, folks!
Carefully place the chicken pieces in the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through—about 15-20 minutes. Pro tip: Sit back and listen to that beautiful sizzle!
Once done, let the chicken drain its excess oil on a paper towel. This is an important rest period; even chickens need a time-out!
Serve with your favorite sides and get ready for a delicious, family-friendly feast. Don’t forget to share… or not! We won’t judge!

And there you have it! The ultimate family meal that pairs perfectly with love, laughter, and a bit of chicken-induced happiness. Now go forth and fry that chicken like there’s no tomorrow!
