- When oil is hot, place thighs in oil, skin side down. Wait 1 minute then add the breasts, skin side down. Wait 2 minutes then add the legs. Wait 2 minutes then add the wings, if there is room in the pan. Don't overcrowd the pan. Try to maintain oil temp of 350°.
- Cook chicken until golden brown on the first side, then turn, about 9 minutes after adding the wings. Cook on the other side until golden, about 10 minutes. Check chicken for doneness… meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat should read 165°.
- Remove chicken and drain on another large paper bag. Serve immediately.
Turn chicken to brown evenly and remove when golden and cooked through. Buttermilk is the slightly acidic liquid left behind after heavy cream is churned into butter.
