Wash and pat dry chicken with paper towel;
place in large flat dish. Pour
buttermilk over chicken; cover, and allow to soak at least 1
hour of
overnight in refrigerator. Combine coating ingredients in double
strength
paper bag and shake chicken pieces, one at a time, to coat well.
Lay coated
chicken pieces on waxed paper for 15 minutes to allow coating
to dry (will
cling better). Meanwhile, pour oil to depth of 1/2" in
electric skillet
and heat to 350-360 degrees. Fry chicken, several pieces at
a time, for
about 3 minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcrowd. Reduce
heat to
325 degrees; cook chicken, turning occasionally, for 25 to 35
minutes or
until juices run clear and chicken is tender. Remove to paper
towel-lined
platter.
Makes 6 servings.
