Wash and pat dry the chicken pieces with paper towels.
Place the chicken in a bowl and pour over the buttermilk.
Add salt, black pepper, and a little paprika. Mix well.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavours to develop.
In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and coat each piece thoroughly with the seasoned flour.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Carefully add the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and crispy.
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favourite dipping sauce, fries, or fresh salad.
