Ingredients 3.3lb / 1.5kg Chicken divided (see notes) 3-4 cups / 750ml - 1litre Vegetable Oil, or as needed for deep frying (see notes) Wet Mix 2 cups / 500ml Buttermilk 1 tsp each: Paprika, Cayenne Pepper, White Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Salt Dry Mix 2.5 cups / 375g Plain Flour 1 tbsp Paprika 2 tsp each: Oregano, Baking Powder 1.5 tsp Salt, plus extra to sprinkle at the end 1 tsp each: Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Cayenne Pepper 1/2 tsp Black Pepper Instructions : In a bowl, combine the wet mix with your chicken, ensuring it's fully coated by the marinade.
