• Marinating the Chicken:

• Dredge the chicken pieces in the buttermilk mixture, making sure they are completely coated.
• cover the bowl tightly using plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or if possible overnight. This helps to tenderize the chicken and infuse flavor.

• Dip chicken into flour mixture, pressing to coat chicken thoroughly.
• Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet or wire rack and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the coating to settle and stick to the chicken.
• Frying the Chicken:
• In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat enough vegetable oil to cover chicken pieces. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
• Carefully place a few pieces of coated chicken in the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
• Roast the chicken for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. make sure to reach the internal temperature to 165°F (74°C).
• Remove the fried chicken from the oil. use a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
• To serve:
• Leave the fried chicken for a few minutes before serving so the juices can redistribute.
• Serve New York-style fried chicken with your favorite side, such as coleslaw, biscuits, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

• Marinate overnight: For maximum flavor, soak chicken in a buttermilk and spice marinade overnight. This results in tender and tasty meat.
• Coating Crunch: After coating the chicken with flour mixture, leave it like this for 15-20 minutes. This ensures a crispy coating that sticks perfectly while frying.
• Oil temperature control: Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) while frying. This guarantees golden exterior and perfectly cooked interior without excess oil absorption.
