Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
⅔ tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon ground thyme
½ tablespoon basil
⅓ tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dry mustard powder
4 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons ground white pepper
½ teaspoon Accent flavor enhancer (MSG) (optional)
1 whole chicken
1 egg (beaten)
1 cup full-fat buttermilk
vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

Cut the chicken into breast, thigh, leg, and wing pieces.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour and all of the seasonings.
In a large bowl, add buttermilk and beaten egg. Stir or whisk to combine.
Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture.
Soak the chicken for about 30 minutes.
Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
To bread the chicken, remove the chicken from the buttermilk and shake off excess.
Place each piece into the flour mixture.
Coat the chicken fully and then shake off all of the excess flour.
Place the chicken onto the wire rack.
Bread all of the chicken. The breaded chicken should rest for about 15 minutes before frying.
Heat oil to 350 degrees in a deep fryer. If you do not have a deep fryer you should use a Dutch oven and fill it half full of vegetable shortening. If you are using a Dutch oven, use a thermometer to make sure the temperature is maintained at 350 degrees. If the temperature drops too low, the breading will become greasy.
Cook the chicken in 2 or 3 batches. The breasts and thighs will take about 15 to 18 minutes to cook. The wings and legs will take about 12 to 13 minutes to cook.
Drain the fried chicken on a clean wire rack on top of a baking sheet.

1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram

Put the flour in a separate bowl and whisk in all 11 herbs and spices-salt, sage , pepper, paprika, oregano, onion salt, marjoram , dried basil, chili powder, garlic powder , and MSG seasoning.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, letting the excess drip off. Roll the chicken in the seasoned flour until completely covered.
Add the lard to a Dutch oven or pressure fryer and heat to 365 F. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's directions if using a pressure fryer.
Using a utensil, lower 4 pieces of the chicken into the hot oil, and if using a pressure fryer, lock the lid in place. Be careful not to burn yourself with the hot oil.
Allow to fry for 8 to 10 minutes, until the chicken turns golden brown and thoroughly cooks.
If using a pressure fryer, release the pressure according to the manufacturer's directions. Then, remove the finished chicken to paper towels or a metal rack to drain.
Repeat with the remaining 2 pieces of chicken.
Serve and enjoy.
