Blend together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. This is your seasoned flour mixture.
Dip each piece of chicken into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
Roll the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat vegetable oil in your deep fryer or pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, one at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Harold's Chicken!
