I fry the chicken up at a higher temp til I get a good crispy outside then I take my heat down to medium to finish cooking. Here is a pic of my buttermilk fried chicken. I fry in a nonstick or cast iron skillet. I soak the chicken overnight in buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. I drain off the buttermilk and lightly season again.
Then roll my chicken in flour and fry.
