Gotta let the chicken sit with the flour on it. Hydrates the flour and it becomes one with the chicken. Will change your outlook on home fried chicken

What temp do you fry the chicken? After a couple iterations I've found 325 is much better than 350. I made pickle brined fried chicken once and it came out great.

Whats your batter process prior to letting it sit? Straight flour, buttermilk egg wash then flour, or buttermilk straight to flour.
Also, marinate overnight in buttermilk or no?

Exactly. Don't just batter and drop in. And I fry at 325. Bring the grease to 360 and drop your pieces. Temp will drop to 315ish but settle on 325. Your fryer may be different though. I use a laser temp gun religiously.
I always add pieces until I can fit one more but I don't put it. Don't overcrowd you pot. It will kill your grease temp.

Yea good advice. I worked in a deli in college that did fried chicken and we would mix the seasoned flower with the chicken the night before and leave it in the cooler until we fried the next day. Of course we fried with a pressure fryer so it's just slightly different. But the crust was perfect.
I can't get good crispy french fries. I started experimenting a few years ago and on my first attempt I nailed it and they were amazing. Haven't been able to replicate it since.
