1 tablespoon dry mustard powder

2 tablespoons garlic salt

Οδηγίες

Cut the chicken into breast, thigh, leg, and wing pieces.

In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour and all of the seasonings.

In a large bowl, add buttermilk and beaten egg. Stir or whisk to combine.

Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture.

Soak the chicken for about 30 minutes.

Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.

To bread the chicken, remove the chicken from the buttermilk and shake off excess.

Place each piece into the flour mixture.

Coat the chicken fully and then shake off all of the excess flour.

Place the chicken onto the wire rack.

Bread all of the chicken. The breaded chicken should rest for about 15 minutes before frying.

Heat oil to 350 degrees in a deep fryer. If you do not have a deep fryer you should use a Dutch oven and fill it half full of vegetable shortening. If you are using a Dutch oven, use a thermometer to make sure the temperature is maintained at 350 degrees. If the temperature drops too low, the breading will become greasy.

Cook the chicken in 2 or 3 batches. The breasts and thighs will take about 15 to 18 minutes to cook. The wings and legs will take about 12 to 13 minutes to cook.

Drain the fried chicken on a clean wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
