Instructions

Soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl.
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until bubbling (about 350°F).
Remove chicken from buttermilk, allow excess to drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture.
Fry chicken in hot oil for about 15-20 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Drain chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.

Notes

Ensure leftovers are stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator; consume within 3-4 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes.
