Instructions for Cooking Best Fried Chicken
The day before you are going to fry the chicken, place the chicken in a couple of large ziplock bags.
Add the chicken, buttermilk, and hot sauce.
Place the chicken in the refrigerator overnight.
Mix the seasonings.
Remove one tablespoon of seasoning and save it for later.
Add the season into the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. I mix it together with a whisk.
Remove the chicken one piece at a time from the buttermilk.
Flour each piece of chicken in every crease of the chicken.
Leave it to rest on a large baking sheet. Place chicken in the refrigerator if possible.
After 15 minutes, flour the chicken again.
Allow the oil to heat to 375 degrees. The temperature will drop as soon as you add the chicken.
Cook chicken about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the chicken with tongs on to a large baking sheet that has been lined with paper towels.
Season the chicken as soon as it comes out of the fryer with the remaining tablespoon of seasoning mixture.
Serve hot and with honey, if you want a real treat!
