In a shallow dish that is large enough to place chicken in, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, basil, thyme, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
In a large, heavy bottom pan, heat oil to about 340 degrees. You want to be able to fry the outside to a crisp golden brown without burning while, still cooking the chicken thoroughly.
Working one piece at a time, remove each piece of chicken from the marinade, and place it into the shallow dish with the flour mixture. Toss to cover. Make sure the entire surface of each piece of chicken is coated well.
Place the chicken into the preheated oil. Cook 4 or 5 pieces at a time, but don’t crowd the pan. Turn as necessary and fry until golden brown. It will take about 15 minutes for each piece to cook. Make sure each piece is fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 170 degrees F*.
Place chicken on a wire rack to drain.
