1  teaspoon  salt, divided
3/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
1/4  teaspoon  ground red pepper

2  chicken thighs, skinned (about 1/2 pound)
2  chicken drumsticks, skinned (about 1/2 pound)
2  tablespoons  canola oil

  4. Sprinkle chicken evenly with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Dip chicken in buttermilk mixture; dredge in flour mixture.
