Grandma’s Fried Chicken

Here’s everything you need to make Nana’s Fried Chicken, which serves about four people:

1 whole chicken, cut into pieces: Or about 3-4 pounds of your favorite cuts (thighs, drumsticks, breasts—whatever you prefer).

2 cups buttermilk: Essential for tenderizing the chicken and adding that tangy flavor.

2 cups all-purpose flour: The base for the crispy coating.

1 tablespoon paprika: Adds a touch of warmth and color.
