Here’s everything you need to make Nana’s Fried Chicken, which serves about four people:
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces: Or about 3-4 pounds of your favorite cuts (thighs, drumsticks, breasts—whatever you prefer).
2 cups buttermilk: Essential for tenderizing the chicken and adding that tangy flavor.
2 cups all-purpose flour: The base for the crispy coating.
1 tablespoon paprika: Adds a touch of warmth and color.
1 tablespoon garlic powder: For a subtle, savory flavor.
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper: Adjust based on your spice preference for a little kick.
Salt and black pepper to taste: Simple seasonings that bring out all the flavors.
Vegetable oil for frying: Enough to fill your pan about an inch deep.
