Buttermilk fried chicken is a delicious chicken to enjoy and this is a crowd-pleaser. Chicken is one of the most eaten protein at least in our house. This is very easy chicken to make but it takes steps to get it right.
This buttermilk fried chicken was marinated in buttermilk and seasoning overnight but you can marinate a minimum of one hour. Then was seasoned again then dredged in flour twice before frying.
When you want to fry make sure the oil is not too much between 320 and 325 degrees F also covering on and off work very well while frying. You can also use a fork to poke the chicken to see the juice runs clear or when the chicken reads 165 degrees F.

- 8 Chicken drums(or any part of your choice)
- 2 Cups Buttermilk
- 1 Cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons Garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon Onion powder
