Fried Chicken the KFC way

As part of Bupa's best blog competition for 2015

You can normally buy fried chicken at KFC, but our version of this is much better and healthier for you as you can control the oil and the salt content.

You need:
* Cornflour
* 1 egg beaten
* Chicken drumettes or wings ( the number will depend on how many people you are feeding- we used about 6 pieces)
* Chicken seasoning
* Oil ( however much you need, depending on how many mouths, but we say about 1-2 tablespoons for just the two of us).
* 1 Cup of buttermilk.

Directions (taken from allrecipes.com).

1. Place chicken thighs and drumsticks in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and mix in salt. Cover and refrigerate from 8 hours to overnight.
2. Rinse chicken thoroughly. Mix buttermilk, beaten egg, and 1 teaspoon chicken seasoning in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
3. Place chicken pieces into buttermilk mixture and refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. Place flour and 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning into a shallow bowl and mix until combined. Remove chicken from buttermilk bath, shake off excess buttermilk, and press into flour. Tap off excess flour.
6. Gently place chicken into hot oil, 3 or 4 pieces at a time; fry chicken until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes per batch.
7. Remove chicken pieces to a cooling rack set over paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
