Southern Fried Chicken

Soak chicken in buttermilk for at least 2 hours or overnight in the fridge.

Mix flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl.

Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F.

Remove chicken from buttermilk and coat evenly in the seasoned flour.

Fry chicken in batches for 15–18 minutes, turning once, until golden and cooked through.

Drain on paper towels and rest for 5 minutes.

Serve hot with mashed potatoes and gravy.
