Here's my base recipe for southern fried chicken. It's a recipe I continually tweak and have changed over the years. It's still not absolutely perfect, but it is rather delicious all the same. This recipe makes enough seasoning to coat approx 2 large chicken breasts OR around 6 thighs, simply increase/decrease the ingredient amounts to suit your desired yield.
Perfect to use for chicken burgers, regular coated chicken pieces or tenders.

Steps

45 mins

1

Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to shallow fry the chicken and allow to heat up. Combine all of the flour seasoning ingredients together in a bowl. Add in 3 tbsp of buttermilk and stir through to create some nice little clumps in the seasoned flour. These will give some extra crunch once the chicken is fried.
2

Preheat your oven to 180 (fan) or gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with foil then place over a wire rack. Take the chicken and dredge it through the flour to coat lightly, then into the buttermilk then again into the flour mix. Make sure it's really well covered with no chicken flesh showing. Get some of those clumps to stick on there too.
3

Once the oil is really hot, (test by putting a small piece of chicken in and see if it sizzles), fry the coated chicken pieces for around 3-4 minutes each side until golden and nicely crisp.
Lay out on the wire rack. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until completely cooked though and no pink flesh remains and the juices are clear. Eat and enjoy! :)
