Grandma's Fried Chicken

My Grandmother made the best everything. I don't have a recipe for a lot of things that she did, my mental recollection and recreation of her food is the way that I re create some of the more basic recipes that she made. I also use a lot of trial and error in order to create the perfect recipe. So in honor of my Grandma, this is my creation of my grandmothers fried chicken, exactly how I remember it. 

Ingredients
Whole chicken cut up
2c buttermilk

4eggs
Garlic Salt
Pepper
1tsp Smoked Paprika

1c all-purpose flour
1/2c corn starch
1tsp smoked paprika
1/4tsp cayenne
Garlic Salt and Pepper

Method
Whisk together the buttermilk and eggs, garlic salt pepper and paprika. Coat chicken in mixture and let sit overnight or at least 30 min.

Mix flour, corn starch and spices together and mix. Put chicken in the mixture and coat until its no longer wet and sticks to the buttermilk

Heat shortening in large skillet. Then when oil is ready fry the breaded chicken in the pan. Fry the chicken on one side until completely browned then turn and cook the other side.

You could use the grease in the pan and put in some of the extra flour mixture, brown and add milk for a country gravy or water for a brown gravy.
