Fried Chicken - American Southern classic

Fried chicken is one of the most beloved dishes of the American South. Chicken pieces are soaked in buttermilk, coated in seasoned flour, and fried in hot oil to a perfectly crispy golden crust. The secret lies in the right spice blend, which typically includes paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
