The best fried chicken I have ever had is the way my wife does it.

She soaks it in buttermilk, overnight in the refrigerator, then rolls it in flour to coat.

She deep fries it in an old Dutch Oven, using Olive Oil, or other deep frying oil.

Her's is so much better, I won't order it when we go out, because I have never tasted restaurant chicken near as good.
