Soak the chicken for about ⏱️ 30 minutes.

Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
7
To bread the chicken, remove the chicken from the buttermilk and shake off excess.
8
Place each piece into the flour mixture.
9
Coat the chicken fully and then shake off all of the excess flour.
10
Place the chicken onto the wire rack.
11
Bread all of the chicken. The breaded chicken should rest for about ⏱️ 15 minutes before frying.
12
Heat oil to 350 degrees in a deep fryer. If you do not have a deep fryer you should use a Dutch oven and fill it half full of vegetable shortening. If you are using a Dutch oven, use a thermometer to make sure the temperature is maintained at 350 degrees. If the temperature drops too low, the breading will become greasy.
vegetable shortening (for frying (you can use vegetable oil, we prefer shortening.))

14
Drain the fried chicken on a clean wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
