🇺🇸Crispy Southern Fried Chicken
Published by RecipeNest
Description
Golden, craggy, and intensely seasoned, classic Southern fried chicken features juicy buttermilk-marinated chicken coated in a heavily spiced flour dredge and fried to crunchy perfection. Tender and succulent inside with an irresistible shatteringly crisp skin.
A Taste of History
Southern fried chicken combines West African frying techniques and seasoning traditions with Scottish unseasoned deep-frying methods brought to the American South in the 18th century. Enriched by buttermilk marination and paprika-garlic spicing, it became an iconic American staple.
