One at a time, remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture and place it into the flour and herbs to coat it.
Heat some oil in a pan to around 170-175 degrees celsius and in batches cook the chicken for about 12 to 15 minutes. If using chicken thighs they will take a little longer.
Once cooked, carefully place them on a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
