Black pepper, cayenne, garlic, paprika — all mixed into buttermilk for a proper overnight soak. Then it’s dredged in flour, fried in lard, and rested until the crust sings when you press it. No egg wash. No guesswork. Just rhythm and heat. 🎙 Voiceover by Damon Webb ⏱ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro. 00:59 - The Spice Mix 01:57 - The Chicken and the Brine 05:04 - How to dredge and coat 07:06 - How to fry the chicken in oil 09:57 - Close ups of finished chicken and taste test #friedchicken #southerncooking #kitchenintheshire #buttermilkchicken #heritagecooking #crispychicken #castironskillet #friedchickenrecipe #southernfriedchicken #chickenrecipes #soulfood #buttermilkfriedchicken
