1
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, dried thyme, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, and lemon juice until blended. Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, coating all sides. Shake off any excess and add the chicken to the buttermilk mixture. Return the chicken to the flour and press firmly until it has a crispy coating.

In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F. Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, until the skin is golden brown and the juices run clear, about 6 to 10 minutes per side. Drain the chicken on a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack. If frying in batches, keep the cooked chicken warm in a 250°F oven while frying the remaining pieces.
