👨🍳 Instructions
1. Marinate Chicken
- Mix buttermilk with spices.
- Add chicken and marinate at least 1 hour (overnight = best).
2. Coat Chicken
- Mix flour + cornstarch + spices.
- Dredge chicken well, pressing coating for extra crunch.
3. Fry Chicken
- Heat oil to medium (around 170–175°C).
- Fry 12–15 minutes until golden, crispy, and cooked through.
- Rest on a rack (not paper towels—keeps it crispy).
4. Make Fries
- Fry potatoes until golden and crispy.
- Salt immediately.
5. Make Coleslaw
- Mix all ingredients and chill before serving.
6. Serve
- Plate crispy chicken, fries, and coleslaw.

💡 Tips:
- Double-dip chicken (buttermilk → flour → buttermilk → flour) for extra crunch 🔥
- Add a little baking powder to flour for even crispier coating
- Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying
- Let chicken rest 5 minutes before eating = juicier inside
