Breaded Fried Chicken

How to make breaded fried chicken

• Whisk the buttermilk and egg together until smooth in a large mixing bowl.
• Coat the chicken pieces in the bowl, cover and chill for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the flour, garlic powder, dried thyme, paprika, salt and pepper in another bowl.
• Remove the chicken the fridge and heat the vegetable oil to 170 degrees in a deep heavy-based saucepan.
• Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and rest for 3-4 minutes before deep-frying in batches for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
• The legs will need longer cooking times than the breast meat and the wings.
• Remove the chicken using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. 
• Serve the breaded fried chicken with wedges of lemon, in bowls lined with parchment paper.
