Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs
- 4 bone-in chicken drumsticks
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk buttermilk and egg together. Add chicken pieces, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- In another bowl, mix flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, oregano, basil, baking powder, and white pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge in seasoned flour, pressing to coat evenly.
- Carefully place chicken in hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each piece for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Transfer to a wire rack over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
