Making a nice meal for friends and family.

Which reminds me I haven't made buttermilk fried chicken in a while..

Is buttermilk fried chicken easy to do without a deepfrier or lots of oil? I'm looking to make some food with my girlfriend that won't give away the fact I'm a massive dumbass in the kitchen.

Good buttermilk fried chicken does need a good shallow fry to have the crunch and moist meat inside.

I'm old fashioned and use a large cast iron skillet. I fill it about halfway with a neutral oil, something like safflower or peanut, or any oil with a high smoke point. Be sure that it gets to temperature (350°f/175°c). If you don't have a thermometer, put a small piece of bread and it gets golden brown in about a minute, the oil is hot enough.
