Directions
In a medium mixing bowl add parsley, garlic, onion, oregano, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and chicken, and mix by hand until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Add chicken and toss by hand until fully coated. Shake off excess dredge from chicken before frying.
Fill a 6 quart Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot with vegetable oil and heat to 350°F. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken, working in batches, and fry, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Using a spider, transfer cooked chicken to a wire rack lined baking tray to drain off excess oil and season with salt to taste. Serve and enjoy.
