Notes

TIP - You can marinate the chicken in buttermilk overnight. You can buy the buttermilk or make your own or use yogurt instead of milk.
TIP - You can first fry the chicken (the first round) and wait until just before serving to fry again the second round. 
TIP - You can mix any spices to make up the Seasoned flour. I would have love to add chilli powder but my boy can't do spicy.
