1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds of chicken (legs, thighs, breast - whatever preferred)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 tablespoon onion salt
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon basil, oregano, thyme, each
1/2 teaspoon all spice
2 cups flour
3 eggs
1 cup or 2 cups of buttermilk
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1 . Mix all spice ingredients together with the flour and cornstarch, set aside in large bowl. Beat eggs into buttermilk in separate bowl.
2 . Place chicken pieces in an egg mixture just long enough to get saturated (add more water if necessary). Drain, then coat each piece in the flour mixture.
3 . Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown. Finish off the chicken by baking it for about 1 hour, or until juices run clear.
