Start by mixing the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl.
This dry mixture adds the flavorful coating.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.
This wet mixture helps the flour stick to the chicken.
Dip each chicken piece into the dry mixture, then into the wet mixture, and finish with another round in the dry mixture.
The double dredge technique gives that extra crunch.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F.
The right temperature ensures crispy skin.
Fry the chicken in batches, turning occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Enjoy the sizzling sound while you cook!
