My recipe

Brine the chicken in buttermilk overnight if you can — the acid tenderizes the meat and the fat keeps it juicy.

1
Ahead: the seasoned flour. 1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over low heat. Add the seasoned flour to a large mixing bowl or Pyrex container. Remove the chicken from its packaging and pat dry with paper towels.
3
Butcher a whole chicken into 10 pieces. Pour the buttermilk into a separate mixing bowl or Pyrex container.
4
Dredge the chicken in the buttermilk and then transfer to the flour. Shake off any excess flour. Turn up the heat of the oil until it is hot enough to fry the chicken. Use a rosemary sprig and garlic clove to test the temperature of the oil.
5
Fry the chicken in the hot oil until GBD, or Golden Brown and Delicious. Remove the chicken from the hot oil and season with truffle salt or flaky sea salt, fried rosemary, and a drizzle of that beautiful honey. Enjoy!!
