Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken pieces legs, thighs, or breasts
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and cornstarch. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  3. In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F. Carefully add the chicken pieces in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  4. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
