Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 6 large chicken legs
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt, to taste
• 1 tablespoon onion salt, to taste
• 1 tablespoon paprika, to taste
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander, to taste
• 1 tablespoon parsley flakes, to taste
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• vegetable oil (for frying)

Recipe

• 1 heat oil in large cast iron skillet to appropriate temperature for frying. if you prefer, you can use a deep fryer but i find that a heavy skillet works best.
• 2 combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. divide into 2 separate shallow baking dishes or use two large containers big enough to work with the flour mixture. pour buttermilk into another baking dish or container large enough for dredging.
• 3 arrange dishes/containers with one of the flour mixtures first, then buttermilk, and last is the second container of flour mixture.
• 4 take one chicken leg at a time and roll in the first flour mixture, then dip/dredge in buttermilk, and then coat in the last flour mixture. set each leg aside on a plate until all pieces are ready to be cooked. suggestion: use one hand for the dry stuff and the other for the wet.
• 5 place chicken legs in hot oil and cook until golden brown.
