  • Prepare the Chicken:

  • Prepare the Buttermilk Mixture:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and 1 cup of water until well combined.
  • Prepare the Flour Coating:
    • In a large glass baking pan, mix together the flour, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of pepper, paprika, and cornstarch. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
  • Coat the Chicken:
    • Dip each piece of chicken in the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
    • Then, coat the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
  • Heat the Oil:
    • In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat oil to a depth of about 1 inch. Heat the oil until it’s hot but not smoking.
  • Fry the Chicken:
    • Carefully add the chicken pieces to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken for about 10 to 13 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs to ensure even browning.
