Ingredients

• 4 chicken drumsticks
• 4 chicken thighs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if desired). Set aside.
2. Place the chicken drumsticks and thighs into a separate bowl.
3. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
5. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, making sure it is well coated on all sides.
6. Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil, working in batches if necessary. Fry for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
7. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the fried chicken from the oil and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Allow the chicken to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, BBQ, or honey mustard.
