Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 – 3 frying chickens
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tablespoons dried dill weed
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Rinse the chicken pieces and pat them dry. Set aside.
-
Heat Oil:
- Fill a large frying pan halfway with cooking oil.
- Heat the oil to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Prepare Coating:
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, dried dill weed, black pepper, and garlic salt.
-
Prep Buttermilk:
- Pour the buttermilk into another bowl.
-
Coat the Chicken:
- Working with one piece at a time, dip the chicken into the buttermilk, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated.
- Shake off any excess buttermilk.
- Lightly coat the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
-
Double Dip:
- Dip the floured chicken again into the buttermilk, followed by another coating of the flour mixture. This double-dipping ensures a crispier coating.
-
Fry the Chicken:
- Carefully place a few pieces of chicken skin-side down into the hot oil.
- Fry for 10 to 15 minutes, then flip the chicken pieces and fry for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Adjust the frying time based on the size of your chicken pieces.
-
Drain and Rest:
- Once fried to golden perfection, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This brief resting period helps the chicken retain its juiciness.
