African American Southern Fried Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

For this amazing recipe you will need: 4 pounds of chicken pieces, 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 2 cups of buttermilk, and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil.

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended. Dip the chicken pieces in the buttermilk, then coat them in the flour mixture. Make sure you coat each piece evenly.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces to the pan. Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through. Place the cooked chicken onto a paper-towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Transfer the fried chicken to a baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven, and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
