Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a soup kettle, bring 2-inches of water to a boil. Put the chicken on a rack over (not in) the water, cover, and steam until the chicken is firm and half-cooked (15 minutes).
  2. Cool the chicken and cut into 6 or 8 serving pieces. In a medium bowl, mix together the onion, garlic, and buttermilk. Marinate the chicken in the buttermilk mixture for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. In another bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Drain the chicken and then dredge in the flour and shake off the excess.
  3. In a heavy, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1/2-inch vegetable oil to 365 degrees. Add the chicken and fry over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Turn the chicken over and fry until brown, about 8 minutes more. Drain the chicken well and serve warm or at room temperature.
