• Next Day: Heat oil in skillet until a cube of bread browns straight away.
• Take each piece of chicken out of buttermilk, cover in seasoned flour and put into the hot oil, turning occasionally. Take out when golden brown and crispy. Normally this takes about 7 minutes. Try not to crowd the pan, do about 4 at a time.
• It depends on how many strips you cut the chicken into, or what you serve it with as to how many servings this will make.

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the chicken in a bowl and pour over the milk. Tip the flour and spices into a large plastic bag and add a large pinch of salt and a good grinding of pepper.
• Heat half the oil in a large frying pan. Take half of the chicken out of the milk, shake off any excess and put in the bag of seasoned flour. Hold the top closed and shake well. Lift the pieces out and shake off any excess, but don't do this too hard or you'll end up with no coating. Lower the pieces into the oil and fry on each side until golden and crisp - don't overdo it as the chicken is being baked next and will brown further. Use tongs to turn the chicken and try not to tear the coating. Transfer to a rack set in a roasting tin. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
• Bake for 30 mins until cooked - check one drumstick and one thigh with a skewer - cook for longer if you need to.

CRISPY SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl beat the eggs and add the chicken to coat.
• In another large bowl with a lid, mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, pepper and accent seasoning.
• Preheat oil to 375°F I would recommend using a thermometer to monitor the temperature - temperature is important. A clip-on candy/deep-fry thermometer should be kept in the pot at all times, so that you can monitor the temperature accurately.
• Add the chicken to the flour mixture and place the lid on the bowl. Shake the bowl vigorously to coat the chicken.
• Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before frying. You can preheat your oil at this time.
• When the oil has reached 375° F carefully add the chicken to the oil. Try not to overcrowd, the temperature of the oil will drop but you don't want it to drop below 300°F Keep it at 300° F to 325° F while the chicken fries.
• Fry chicken for 8-12 minutes each side, turning the chicken over half way through (ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165° F when using an instant read thermometer).
• Drain the chicken on paper towels. You can place in a 170° F oven to keep the chicken warm if you have more chicken to fry.
• When frying more chicken let the oil get back up to 375° F again.
