Ingredients

2 whole chickens cut up or parts pre-cut

1 pint of buttermilk

1 cup breadcrumbs

8 eggs beaten

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon oregano

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Heat enough oil in a sauce pan to be able to completely submerge chicken parts to 400 degrees, and use thermometer to maintain correct temp -- very important!

Soak chicken parts in buttermilk, then set aside

Mix all spices and breadcrumbs together in a big bowl, then set aside

Take a piece of chicken one at a time from buttermilk and dip in flour mixture then back in egg mixture then back in flour mixture, then set on a cookie sheet

With tongs carefully drop chicken pieces one at a time into oil mixture for only 15 seconds or until brown.

Take out the chicken pieces and set on a sheet pan with paper towels to drain

Finish off in the oven at 350 degrees till cooked through (if not sure cut into thigh until no pink is seen)
