Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole chicken cut into 10 pieces (2 wings, 2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, 2 breast pieces cut in half)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2/3 tbsp salt
  • 3 tbsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp dried basil
  • 1 tbsp celery salt
  • 1 tbsp dried mustard
  • 2 tbsp garlic salt
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 1/3 tbsp oregano
  • 4 tbsp paprika
  • 1/2 tbsp thyme
  • vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, soak the chicken in the buttermilk for 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator, covered.
  2. In a bowl, combine all the spices with the all purpose flour. Mix to combine.
  3. When the chicken is ready, heat the vegetable oil in a deep cast iron pan over medium high heat. Heat the oil up to 350F-360F.
