• In a second larger bowl add the buttermilk and egg together and whisk until combined.
• Add the chicken to the buttermilk mixture for 20-30 minutes.
• Remove chicken from the buttermilk soak and let any excess buttermilk drip off.
• Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture on all sides, then shake off the excess coating.
• Let it rest on a cookie sheet for 20-30 minutes.
• Add oil to a deep fryer or a large pot that is at least 5 inches high so that the chicken can be fully submerged.
• Heat the oil to 350 degrees and fry in small batches for 15-18 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oil and add to a drying rack on top of a clean cookie sheet.
• If you add it to a paper towel or newspaper the bottom of the chicken will steam from the heat and become soft.
