1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 cups flour

Salt and pepper, to taste

Soak chicken overnight in buttermilk with onions, dill, paprika and garlic.

In a large plastic bag mix flour with seasonings. Place chicken pieces in bag and shake until thoroughly coated and dry.

Remove chicken from pan, add more salt and pepper to taste and serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice.
