KFC-Style Fried Chicken

Ingredients

Marinate chicken in buttermilk with a little salt and pepper. Chill for at least 30 mins (or overnight), then bring to room temperature before cooking.
Heat about 1.5 cm oil in a heavy pan to 170 °C (a cube of bread should sizzle and brown in ~30 secs).
In a bowl, mix flour with paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Remove chicken from buttermilk, dredge well in the flour mix, and let rest in the flour for 1–2 minutes.
Fry chicken in batches for 15–18 mins, turning often, until golden and fully cooked through (juices run clear or 75 °C internal temp).
Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately.

For a lighter version, coat in seasoned flour, mist with oil, and bake at 200 °C for 30–35 mins until crispy and golden.
