Ingredients:
- 4 lbs. chicken pieces (wings, legs, thighs)
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 tsp. hot sauce
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 2 tsp. salt

Instructions:
- Marinate the chicken in a mixture of buttermilk, hot sauce, and 1 tsp. of salt for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy pot to 375°F.
- Working in batches, remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture and shake off the excess. Dip the chicken into the flour mixture, pressing the flour mixture into the chicken to ensure it is evenly coated.
- Carefully place the chicken into the hot oil and fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain the fried chicken on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Note: The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your chicken pieces, so be sure to check for doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the chicken to ensure that it is well cooked.
