    • INSTRUCTIONS
  • 1. Add the spices to a small food processor until they're all uniform in size and the thyme, basil and oregano aren't larger in size anymore.
  • 2. Add the flour in a bowl with all the herbs and spices and mix with a whisk.
  • 3. In a second larger bowl add the buttermilk and egg together and whisk until combined.
  • 4. Add the chicken to the buttermilk mixture for 20-30 minutes.
  • 5. Remove chicken from the buttermilk soak and let any excess buttermilk drip off.
  • 6. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture on all sides, then shake off the excess coating.
  • 7. Let it rest on a cookie sheet for 20-30 minutes.
  • 8. Add oil to a deep fryer or a large pot that is at least 5 inches high so that the chicken can be fully submerged.
  • 9. Heat the oil to 350 degrees and fry in small batches for 15-18 minutes.
  • 10. Remove the chicken from the oil and add to a drying rack on top of a clean cookie sheet.
  • 11. If you add it to a paper towel or newspaper the bottom of the chicken will steam from the heat and become soft.
