My Granny's Famous Fried-Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 lb (frozen or thawed) chicken tenderloins, boneless and skinless
• 2 c buttermilk
• self-rising flour
• peanut oil
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper

Instructions

1. Combine the salt and buttermilk in a shallow dish or ziplock baggie.
2. Add chicken tenderloins to the buttermilk. Cover or seal, and refrigerate everything overnight.
3. Pour the peanut oil into a dutch oven or large deep skillet to a depth of about 1.5 inches. Heat to 360 degrees using a kitchen thermometer.
4. Remove the chicken tenderloins and place them into a large ziplock bag, discarding the buttermilk.
5. Add enough self-rising flour to the baggie to thoroughly coat the chicken. Toss the chicken around inside the bag to cover evenly.
6. Add chicken to the peanut oil a few pieces at a time and fry. (You can add in some extra batter from the bag now to make some extra crumblies, too!)
7. Cook about 13 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the chicken is a golden brown color.
8. Repeat until all your delicious chicken is fried!
