A wonderful recipe for deep-fried chicken with a Southern taste all its own. The hint of tangy buttermilk under a crispy coating of deliciousness makes this chicken stand out.

- 2 cups cold buttermilk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon chicken seasoning mix (see note)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
