- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Quick Tips:

Instructions
Marinate:
- In a bowl, cover 2 pounds of chicken necks with 1 cup of buttermilk. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for better flavor).
Prep the Coating:
- In one shallow bowl, mix:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- In another bowl, put 1 cup of breadcrumbs.
Coat the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. First, dredge in the flour mixture, then dip back into the buttermilk, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat the Oil:
- In a deep skillet, heat enough vegetable oil for frying to about 350°F (175°C).
Fry:
- Add the coated chicken necks in batches. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Drain:
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.
