 Southern Fried Chicken

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk in a large bowl for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

2. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat to 350°F.

4. Remove chicken pieces from buttermilk and coat each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
