Crispy Southern Fried Chicken | Food Stuff

Ingredients

• 1.2kg / 2.6 lb. chicken legs and thighs. This weight usually gives me 4 legs and 4 thighs.
• 500ml / 1 pt. buttermilk
• 1 x tsp salt
• 150gr / 5 oz. plain flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 x tsps of spicy smoked paprika powder (you can also use the mild version, but I like spice)
• 2 x tsps dried thyme
• 1 x tsp freshly ground black pepper
• Vegetable oil to fry the chicken (I like to use rapeseed oil or sunflower oil)
