Ingredients

1 perdue whole chicken
2 cup buttermilk
3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Cut whole chicken into 8 pieces. In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, add chicken and buttermilk. Refrigerate 1 hour or up to overnight.
In another resealable plastic bag, combine flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Shake to mix well. Move one piece of chicken at a time from marinade into flour mixture. Shake well to coat completely. Place on rack and continue with remaining chicken.
Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in large deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers between 350 degrees F and 375 degrees F. Fry chicken a few pieces at a time so the oil doesn’t cool down. Turn chicken to brown evenly and remove when golden and cooked through. Wings should take 10 to 15 minutes, drumsticks 15 to 20 minutes, breasts and thighs 20 to 25 minutes. Chicken is done when meat thermometer inserted in center reaches 170 degrees F. Drain on wire rack to keep chicken crispy. Serve hot.
