Buttermilk Fried Chicken Recipe

  • 4 cups oil for deep frying
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup barbeque sauce
  • 2 tablespoons steak sauce
  • 6 chicken drumsticks
  • 6 chicken thighs
  • 6 chicken wings, tips removed
  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  2. Heat oil in a large, deep-sided skillet over medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  4. In a separate bowl whisk buttermilk, barbeque sauce and steak sauce. Add chicken parts; toss to coat.
  5. Working in batches of 6, dredge chicken in flour and add to hot oil. Cover and fry until golden brown on one side, about 9 to 10 minutes. Turn chicken over and fry until golden brown on remaining side and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes longer. Transfer to a wire rack on a baking sheet and keep warm in oven.
