Re: Fried Chicken

I do it similar to PP but I use buttermilk in place of the egg. I also add Old Bay seasoning to the flour.

Re: Fried Chicken

I season my chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic and a bit of cayenne. I'm GENEROUS. Then I seal it in a big ziploc and let it sit overnight. The next morning I pour in buttermilk and let it soak all day (or at least a few hours).

About an hour before cooking I will take it out of the fridge and pour off allll the buttermilk and let the chicken sit on a dish to get to room temp. I dredge the chicken in seasoned flour (same seasoning mix as used to marinate) and then cook in about an inch of Crisco over medium high heat and let it cook (covered) about 6-7 minutes until deep golden. Then I turn it over and let it cook another 5-6 minutes. If it's getting too dark, too fast then your heat is too high.

This is BAD for you.

But it's sooooo good.
