- 480 ml buttermilk
- 8 chicken pieces
- 2.5 g garlic powder
- 2.5 g onion powder
- 5 g paprika

- 1000 ml vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

Add chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, coating evenly.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 175°C (350°F).
Step 6
Fry the chicken in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per batch.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
