Fried Chicken

Recipe Ingredients

1		Chicken - (3 to 4 lbs) - cut 10 pieces
		Kosher salt - as needed
3 cups	187g / 6.6oz	All-purpose flour
2 tablespoons	30ml	Garlic powder
2 tablespoons	30ml	Onion powder
2 tablespoons	30ml	Sweet paprika
2 teaspoons	10ml	Cayenne
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
2 cups	474ml	Buttermilk
2 tablespoons	30ml	Hot chili sauce
		= (such as Srirachi Hot Chili Sauce)
		Peanut oil - for frying

Recipe Instructions

Put the chicken pieces into a large bowl. Cover the chicken with water by 1-inch; add 1 tablespoon of salt for each quart of water used. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.

In a large shallow platter, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne until well blended; season generously with salt and pepper. In another platter combine the buttermilk and hot sauce; season with salt and pepper.

Drain the chicken and pat it dry. Dredge the pieces, a few at a time, in the flour mixture, then dip them into the buttermilk; dredge them again in the seasoned flour. Set aside and let the chicken rest while you heat the oil.

Put about 3 inches of oil into a large deep pot; it should not come up more than half way. Bring the oil up to 375 degrees over medium-high heat.

Working in batches, carefully add the chicken pieces 3 or 4 at a time. Fry, turning the pieces once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oil and place on a rack to drain; repeat with the remaining pieces.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
