1/2 c buttermilk
1 c flour (recipe called for a woefully inadequate amount)
salt to taste (likely at least 2 tsps)
pepper to taste (likely at least 1/2 tsp)
1 chicken ( 3 lbs or more) cut-up (I suggest using kitchen scissors, worked quite nicely)
2/3 c lard or oil (and add more as needed)
Place buttermilk in a shallow dish. Combine dry ingredients in a bag. Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk, then put in bag and shake to cover.
Heat oil/lard in a pan, 375 degrees. Cook chicken pieces until brown and crisp, turning often. (20-25 minutes.) May need to drain before serving.
This was passably tasty, but a little bland (or vehicle for some sort of sauce) for me. Might try adding some cayenne or paprika or…. something… to the next attempt.
