Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 4 teaspoons garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning mix
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs, beaten
Directions:
- First Step: In a bowl, mix the beaten eggs with buttermilk. In another bowl, combine flour, poultry seasoning, garlic salt, paprika, and black pepper. Place this flour mixture in a large ziplock bag.
- Second Step: Put the chicken pieces in the bag and shake well to coat them evenly. Then, remove the chicken and dip each piece in the egg mixture.
- Third Step: Dip each piece of chicken back into the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
- Fourth Step: Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet to 375°F (190°C). Brown the chicken on each side, then reduce the heat. Let the chicken cook for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces.
- Fifth Step: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) before serving. Drain the cooked chicken on absorbent paper.
