Nana's fried chicken is famous for its classic Southern taste and crispy texture. This recipe makes it just like that. The batter is seasoned with herbs and spices that make for a delicious coating that goes well with the juicy chicken inside.
Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon black pepper. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. 2 eggs. 1/4 cup buttermilk. 6 chicken pieces legs, thighs, breasts.
Instructions: In a shallow bowl, mix together flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried oregano. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk. Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to coat evenly. Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350F 175C. Carefully place chicken pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry chicken for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165F 75C. Remove chicken from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot and enjoy!
