I want to cook southerner style fried chicken, but none of the recipes I've found on the internet look very convincing, can anyone share a recipe that has already been proven to be good?

the speed in which you posted it makes me think this is most likely a ruse

oh well its pretty good, but is the brine necessary?
From what I've heard it ends up being too salty
This is my recipe
~ 8 pieces of bone in chicken
- butter milk
- 2 cups flour
- 1/8 cup cayanne pepper
- 1/8 cup salt
- 1/8 cup pepper
coat chicken in flour, coat chicken in buttermilk, coat chicken in flour again store on a sheet pan in fridge for 20 mins so batter can set fry at 375 for 12 mins, better than popeyes.

what do you guys do with the oil after frying? I always crave fried chicken but never cook it because it uses so much oil and it's a bitch to get rid of after

Filter and reuse it. Throwing it is a complete waste.
Egg, Flour, Cornmeal + Seasoning

do you add the seasonings to the flour or the buttermilk?
I usually add some of that chipotle tobasco sauce and cayenne pepper to my buttermilk, plus 2 eggs per cup, and salt/pepper the flour.
try it with some good pickle spears or jalapenos, those are incredible when fried.

pour it through a mesh sieve lined with two pieces of cheesecloth. like pic related with cheesecloth inside. then I cover the bowl and put it in the freezer.

Call your local landfill and ask if they have a recycling program for cooking oil.

dont forget to pickle brine.

stick the chicken in buttermilk
mix a bunch of seasoning salt (it's red) and pepper in with flower. your flour should end up pretty orangey
batter the chicken and fry that shit

Look up Cook's Country or America's Test Kitchen recipes for fried chicken. Their recipes are usually great.

This on so many trancendental levels and planes of existence
Im not from the south but im a white guy who grew up in a black family.
Everyone of my friends say i make the best fried chicken.
Even my black family says it.
Flour
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Adobo
SMOKED paprika(lots)
Mix all that shit.
Then put like 4 whole eggs with a tiny splash of milk in a bowl and whisk.
Then a bowl full of 50/50 panko, italian seasoned breadcrumbs.
This is where co/cks go apeshit on me but i swear by it.
Dunk chix in eggs FIRST, then flour, then back in egg, then in breadcrumbs.
Drop in hot oil until its cooked.
Boom.

that shit's not water soluble. it will build up in the bends in your pipes and could wind up causing a clog. it's better to put it in the trash.
