To season the chicken, liberally salt the chicken pieces, then lightly rub the curry mix over the chicken pieces (cover and refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor)4. Place flour, salt, black pepper, and 1 tsp Madras curry powder in a large bowl and mix together until well blended5. Preheat the oil in a cast iron skillet to 300 degrees (use a candy or frying thermometer)6. While the oil is gently warming, dip the curried chicken pieces into the buttermilk, and then into the flour mix, covering each piece thoroughly with flour and rest on a plate; repeat until all the chicken is breaded7. When the oil is hot, place chicken pieces skin side down gently into the skillet; do not overcrowd and be cautious of hot oil splattering8. Cook chicken on one side until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes; turn chicken over gently and finish cooking until done, about 5-7 minutes9.
