Fried chicken?

So apparently, according to my husband, I suck at making fried chicken. It's never crispy enough.

How do I make a good fried chicken?
 
I fry the chicken up at a higher temp til I get a good crispy outside then I take my heat down to medium to finish cooking. Here is a pic of my buttermilk fried chicken. I fry in a nonstick or cast iron skillet. I soak the chicken overnight in buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. I drain off the buttermilk and lightly season again.
Then roll my chicken in flour and fry.

that chicken looks awesome!!!

I have a question, what is it about buttermilk that works so well with chicken?
Almost all the best chicken I have ever tried, and the recipes that look the best seem to all work with buttermilk.

I have another question, do you take the skin off ?
 
for fried chicken - southern style - skin stays on - you can buttermilk and bread or batter skinless parts as well

it's the acidic qualities in the buttermilk that tenderize chicken - the same way a marinade would
 
I can made best crispy chicken...

Here is the Crispy Chicken Recipe...
 
Sometimes I fry in an electric skillet and sometimes I deep fry. I always soak in buttermilk, hotsauce and salt and pepper. Makes the chicken tender, adds a bit of flavor and helps make the chicken nice and crispy.
 
wow that chicken looks so delicious. so you soaked i overnight in buttermilk, garlic, salt and pepper. I will try this, but I dont have an iron skillet nor an electric one. can I use any pan and just deep fry them?
