INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • 1 quart buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine chicken, buttermilk and salt. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour, Italian dressing mix, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Remove chicken from buttermilk, and coat well with flour mixture. Let set on a plate for about 10 minutes.
