There is nothing more delicious that a plate stacked high with crispy fried chicken. Hailing from the wonderful state of Louisiana, I probably know about crispy fried chicken more than anyone else on this website (no offence!).

How to make crispy fried chicken
First off, you're going to need the following ingredients:
- chicken, cut into pieces (I could go for 6-8 pounds)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 21/2 cups of flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 quarts vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
The actual recipe is pretty straightforward.
- Start by soaking the chicken pieces in buttermilk. This will add flavor, and also make sure the flour sticks to the chicken.
- Sprinkle over seasoning to taste. I like to use garlic powder and cayenne pepper followed by salt and pepper, but paprika and celery salt are also good.
- Dunk the pieces into the flour, then let them settle for a few minutes.
- In the meantime, beat some eggs together - you're going to dunk the chicken in this in a second
- With a new batch of flour, add cornmeal or breadcrumbs, and dunk your chicken into the egg wash and then the flour.
- Pan fry on a medium-high heat with some vegetable oil, making sure to turn the chicken as you go.
