- 8 chicken pieces
- 5 g garlic powder
- 1000 ml oil
- 5 g onion powder
- 5 g paprika

Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 175°C (350°F).
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the flour mixture, making sure to coat well.
Step 5
