Prepare chicken pieces, ensuring they are dry with paper towels.

Set up Presto Cool Daddy deep fryer and heat canola oil to 350°F.

In a large dish, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 2 1/2 tablespoons of seasoned salt, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 4 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of rub sage, 1/2 teaspoon of ground thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of basil leaves, and 1 1/2 teaspoon of parsley flakes. Whisk until well incorporated.

In another dish, mix 1 egg with 1 cup of homemade buttermilk (1 tablespoon white vinegar mixed with milk).

Season chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt before breading.

Double dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Repeat for a second coating.

Carefully place chicken pieces in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry chicken for about 18 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove chicken and place on a rack with paper towels underneath to drain excess oil.
