12 (11/4 pounds) chicken drumettes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Kosher salt, for seasoning

1
Chicken: Season the chicken on all sides with salt and pepper, to taste, and put in a 1-gallon size resealable plastic bag.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, curry powder and cayenne pepper until smooth.
3
Pour the buttermilk mixture over the chicken and seal the bag.
4
Refrigerate for 3 hours.
5
Breading: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, bread crumbs, paprika, salt, and pepper.
6
In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour in enough oil to fill the pan about 1/3 of the way.
7
Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 325 degrees F. (If you dont have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 2 minutes.)
8
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture.
9
Fry, 2 to 3 pieces at a time, until golden and cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes, depending on the size of the drumettes.
10
Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
11
Arrange the chicken on a platter and serve.
