Tips:

For crispy chicken, use a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. The cornstarch helps to create a crispy crust, while the baking powder helps the chicken to rise and become fluffy.
To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
To add flavor to the chicken, marinate it in a mixture of buttermilk, garlic, onion, and spices for at least 30 minutes before frying.
For a healthier version of fried chicken, bake it instead of frying it. To bake the chicken, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.
