Chef John's Buttermilk Fried Chicken

Toss together chicken pieces, black pepper, salt, paprika, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, white pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl to coat.

Stir in buttermilk until chicken is coated.

Refrigerate for 6 hours.

Combine flour, salt, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, white pepper, and onion powder in a large shallow dish.

Remove chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour.

Shake off any excess and transfer to a plate.

Heat peanut oil in a large Dutch oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Add all the chicken to the pan and cook for 10 minutes.

Turn chicken pieces and cook for another 10-15 minutes.

Remove chicken from the oil and transfer to a cooling rack set over a paper towel lined baking sheet.

Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
