I have learned that to have crispy southern fried chicken rinse and clean chicken soak in Buttermikk over night or at least an hour sason your flour I just use salt and very little pepper and sometimes garlic. Roll chicken in flour dip back quickly in the buttermilk which you have beaten up an egg. flour again and fry slowly in castiron skillet with plenty of hot oil in it. My grandmother used this same recipie only she used butter to fry hers in,
Now I make it like this flour each piece spritz with oil on both sides and put in my big boss cooker { cooker like they advertise by another name on infamercials}plug in set timer for 40 minutes and air fry it not as good but better for you.
