Jinzo, stood before his class, a group of eager students eager to learn the art of crafting crispy, golden fried chicken. His heart brimmed with excitement as he prepared to impart his culinary knowledge and transform these students into true fried chicken aficionados. "Welcome to the wonderful world of fried chicken!" Cocking his head to the side, Jinzo greeted his students with a warm smile though the smile quickly grew into concern when his chefs hat started to slide. Quickly regaining his composure, he smoothed out his chefs attire and motioned towards the cooking stations. "Today, we'll embark on a culinary journey to create the ultimate fried chicken experience. With a symphony of flavors and textures that will tantalize taste buds, we will do our best to replicate the famous Konoha Fried Chicken recipe!" Jinzo's enthusiasm was palpable, his eyes sparkling with culinary fervor. He began by outlining the essential ingredients, emphasizing the importance of fresh, high-quality chicken. He explained the role of buttermilk in tenderizing the meat, infusing it with flavor, and creating a moist base for the crispy coating. "Each of you will be graded on not only how good your chicken taste, but how well it's presented." Nodding he continued. "As shinobi, we recognize just how interconnected our world is on the most minute of levels, even down to the food that we eat. So be creative, use your noggin and don't be afraid to ask for help." Noticing a few confused looks, Jinzo held up a hand to allay the students fears before quickly twisting his hand and snapping his fingers. On cue, his snap produced a small controlled explosion of chakra before settling into an equally controlled flame. "Just remember, we've got all the tools we need, right at our fingertips..." Holding his gaze on the parlor trick of a ninjutsu technique, he smiled once more and then quickly extinguished it. "And with that being said, begin!"

Instructions said:Ingredients:
- 1 (3-pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Place the chicken in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken, making sure it is all coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Heat about 3 inches of oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C).
- Working in batches, remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge it in the flour mixture, coating it evenly.
- Carefully lower the chicken into the hot oil and fry for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the oil and drain on a wire rack.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Tips:
- For extra crispy chicken, double-dip the chicken in the flour mixture.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should be 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) before serving.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Enjoy!
