Instructions
- Cut a 4-6 pound whole chicken in pieces (skin them too if preferred). A large chicken may need to be cut into more pieces (we halved our chicken breasts so they would cook quicker). Set chicken pieces aside.
- Put 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, garlic salt, and pepper to taste in a bag and shake around.
- Dip chicken pieces in 1 cup buttermilk then place in flour mixture and shake around making sure to coat each piece. Place coated chicken on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Cover with wax paper and let sit until flour is a paste-like consistency.
- Add oil to a large skillet and turn to MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Add chicken to the hot oil and brown on both sides.
- Reduce heat and let cook until the internal temperature is 165°F. Cook in batches - the wings and legs for about 15 minutes; thighs and breast halves were about 20 minutes. Turn the heat back up to MEDIUM-HIGH for an additional few minutes at the end.
- Drain chicken on a paper towel-lined plate. Keep chicken warm in oven.
