For marination:

To 1 cup of buttermilk add the chicken pieces. Break 2 eggs and add in this mix. Add 1tbsp of crushed garlic, salt as per taste, 1tsp of red chili powder, 1/2tsp of black pepper and 1tsp of oregano.
Mix all the ingredients and marinate in the refrigerator for minimum 2 hours. For best result I keep it overnight.

For the Coating:

Take the chicken out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl take 1.5cup of refined flour. To the flour add 1tsp of Garlic powder, 1tsp of onion powder, 1tsp of red chili powder, 1/2tsp of black pepper, 1tsp of oregano and 1tbsp of salt. Mix all the dry ingredients and the seasoned flour mix is ready.
Now for coating, take one chicken piece out of the marinade and coat it on all side in the seasoned flour mix. Now dip it again in the buttermilk marinade and finally coat it again in the flour mix. Make sure you double coat the chicken for best results.

For frying:

Add refined oil in a pan for deep frying the chicken pieces.
Let the oil heat to medium temperature.
Add the chicken pieces one by one. Don't overcrowd the pan.
Turn the gas to low medium and cover the pan. Cook the chicken on each side for 7 mins.
After 7 mins flip the pieces, cover and again cook for another 7 mins.

Serve the hot Fried Chicken with ketchup and mayonnaise.
