2 cups buttermilk
1 cup dry potato flakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Rinse chicken pieces and pat dry. In a shallow dish or bowl, pour in buttermilk and add chicken pieces. Place in refrigerator and marinate chicken in buttermilk overnight. When ready to prepare, mix potato flakes, flour, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Dredge marinated chicken in potato/flour mixture to coat. In a large skillet,heat oil until hot. Fry chicken slowly over medium heat until golden brown and juices run clear.
