Ingredients
    For the Marinate
  • 1 cup butter milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 10 medium chicken parts (I use thighs and legs.)
    • For the Flour Mixture
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions

  1. Add the buttermilk, egg, and salt to a bowl. Mix until well incorporated. 

  2. Add the chicken in and mix until completely coated. Cover with cling wrap and leave in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight. I often use mine right away, however. 

  3. Add the flour, corn starch, and herbs and seasoning to a bowl. Whisk until well combined. Dredge the chicken in until completely covered and set aside on a wire rack or plate. 

  4. Heat oil to 359 degrees F or 180 C. Place the chicken in, in batches, and fry until golden brown. This should take about 10 to 12 minutes.

  5. Serve and enjoy your super crispy fired chicken.

Chicken parts can also vary. For example, wings could be used. Just reduce the cooking time.

I often double dredge my chicken for super crispy results.
