1. 3 lb chicken parts
2. 2 cups buttermilk
3. 1 large onion
4. 1/4 cups a teaspoon each of the herbs
5. 1/2 tsps paprika
6. 1/2 tsps cayenne pepper
7. 2 cups flour
8. 1/2 tsps garlic salt
9. 1/2 tsps onion salt
10. 1 tsp cayenne pepper
11. 4 servings salt and pepper
12. 2 cups peanut oil

Instructions

1. Marinate chicken in buttermilk mixture: 
2. Mix the buttermilk, sliced onion, herbs, paprika, and cayenne in a large bowl.
3. Put the chicken pieces in the buttermilk mixture and coat completely. Marinate overnight (at least 8 hours).
4. Drain chicken, prepare bag with flour and seasonings: 
5. Place chicken pieces in a colander and let drain of excess buttermilk mixture. In a large paper or plastic (sturdy) bag, mix flour with garlic salt, onion salt, cayenne, salt and pepper.
6. Heat oil in thick-bottomed pan: 
7. Heat 2 cups of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron, stainless steel, or anodized aluminum—something that can take the heat) on medium high heat until a pinch of flour starts to sizzle when dropped in the hot oil (but not so hot that the pan is smoking), about 350°F. Remember when working with hot oil, always have a pan lid close by.
