Best fried chicken ever!!!

I made this just the other day, and my family ate it up!
Start with about 2 cups flour   1 tablespoon salt  2 teaspoons garlic power/onion powder/seasoned salt  1 teaspoon pepper - mix all dry ingredients together in one bowl. In separate bowl mix 1 1/2 Cups buttermilk and one large egg. Whisk together until completely combined.

 I had frozen chicken breast- so I thawed them first. You can use strips or whole pieces if you want as well.
 I wanted mine to be kid friendly, so I cubed it up into bite sized pieces. This size also makes cooking it to perfection a breeze!
 Dip each piece of chicken into the buttermilk/egg mixture and then toss to coat in the seasoned flour mixture.
Heat oil in a pan over medium/high heat- about an inch in the bottom of the pan worked just fine for me. Throw the coated chicken in the hot oil and let it cook until golden brown and crispy.
 This was the first little batch, and I didn't let it cook quite as long as I should have- so it's a little lighter, but the chicken is still cooked through completely.
                   This is more like what it should look like- kind of a darker golden brown- but not burnt.
                                         It was seriously the best fried chicken I have ever had!
