Golden Fried Chicken

Description
This fried chicken recipe has a secret: butter! The secret is out! The trick to making your golden fried chicken extra indulgent is dipping it in hot melted butter. Remember to marinate your chicken in buttermilk overnight so it turns out to be soft and juicy once you fry it. Either way, you can really never go wrong with a delicious fried chicken recipe.

Ingredients

 * 1 kilo chicken pieces
 * 1 cup buttermilk
 * 2 cups all-purpose flour, reserving 1 cup for gravy
 * 1 teaspoon garlic powder

 * 1 cup water or chicken broth
