## 👩‍🍳 How to Make KFC Style Chicken

### Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

Soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper for at least 2 hours — overnight is best! This tenderizes the meat and helps the coating stick better.

### Step 2: Prepare the Coating

In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and the spice blend. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.

### Step 3: Coat the Chicken

Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece thoroughly in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

### Step 4: Cook the Chicken

* **For frying:** Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry chicken in batches until golden brown and cooked through (about 12-15 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
* **For baking:** Place coated chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet, spray lightly with oil, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and cooked through.
