  3. 1 teaspoon salt
  4. 1 teaspoon paprika
  5. ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  6. ¼ teaspoon ground thyme
  7. ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  8. ¼ teaspoon dried sage
  9. ½ teaspoon white pepper
  10. ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  11. 2 cups buttermilk
For the seasoned flour
  1. 2 cups flour
  2. 1 teaspoon salt
  3. ½ teaspoon paprika
  4. ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  5. ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  6. ½ teaspoon white pepper
  7. ½ teaspoon onion powder
  8. 2 ½ quarts peanut oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Toss together chicken pieces, black pepper, salt, paprika, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, white pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl to coat.
  2. Stir in buttermilk until chicken is coated. Refrigerate for 6 hours.
  3. Combine flour, salt, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, white pepper, and onion powder in a large shallow dish.
  4. Remove chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour. Shake off any excess and transfer to a plate.
  5. Heat peanut oil in a large Dutch oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Add all the chicken to the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
  6. Turn chicken pieces and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
  7. Remove chicken from the oil and transfer to a cooling rack set over a paper towel lined baking sheet. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
  1. The oil is 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to start, but when the chicken goes in it will drop to about 300 degrees (150 degrees C). It should rise back to 305-310 degrees F (155 degrees C) and be held at that temperature until done, about 20 minutes.
