fried chicken is one of my favorite foods! (then again, ANYTHING fried could make it to my top favorite foods list)

this one's for you karl...

so...pretty basic, but to have the best southern style fried chicken (and yes, i qualify because i spent several days in north carolina!) you must use buttermilk buttermlik buttermilk...and lard!

won't get too detailed with the recipe but here's how i did it. take a whole chicken and dismember yourself...hehe...get it...dismember YOURSELF! or pre cut already.
add your favorite spices...
for this one, i used fresh parsley, onions, garlic, chili powder, tarragon, salt n peppa, super duper HOT sauce, buttermilk (organic and from a local farm...because there is nothing "good" about eating deep fried chicken so you might as well make it organic and support a local farm to make you feel a little bit good about yourself)

what else? ok, that's all. cover with saran wrap and let the marination begin overnight in the fridge.

next day, heat some oil (preferably peanut oil or other oil with a high smoke point), take pieces of chicken, shake off extra marination liquid, dip in a bowl with beated eggs, shake extra egg juice, and flour....and then....FRY!

YUMMY! i reckon this will be one of the best fried chicken ya'll ever had!
