Buttermilk fried chicken is a way of cooking fried chicken by letting it marinade in buttermilk and spices to gain flavor in the meat. African American culture is all about flavor, so naturally fried chicken needs to be full of flavor. The process includes filling a bowl with buttermilk, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. you can let this sit for however long you would like but the longer the better. next is the frying process, the oil which is best to use is peanut oil but any is fine. You then need a bowl of flower and apply the same spices as before, then you take the chicken out of the buttermilk and dip it into the flour. fry until the outside is golden brown, and if needed bake in the oven for a few minutes. That is how to make Buttermilk fried chicken.
