Southern American Fried Chicken

In the US, we break down chickens into a wing, a thigh, a leg and a breast. That is not the case everywhere. Different cultures break down animals in different ways. There's like no universal standard for breaking down an animal. You might marinate it in buttermilk which helps break it down. Put some salt in there, pepper, seasoned it up with whatever,. paprika, hot sauce, garlic, onion, all that stuff. Season up the dredging flour, which is just an AP flour generally. Shake it up, let it soak in cast iron, fried.
