Recipe Collection – Fried Chicken

	Hot Sauce Fried Chicken
Ingredients 1 fryer (about 4 1/2 pounds), cut into 10 pieces 1/2 cup hot sauce 1/2 cup buttermilk 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 4 cups vegetable oil 2 cups bleached all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning
Instructions Put the chicken in a large mixing bowl, add the hot sauce, buttermilk, salt, and pepper, and stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, turning the chicken pieces several times. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator. In a deep cast-iron skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 360.F. Combine the flour and 2 teaspoons of the Creole seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Dredge several pieces of chicken at a time in the flour, coating evenly and shaking off any excess. Fry the chicken, 4 to 5 pieces at a time, in the hot oil until golden brown, about 6 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Serve hot or at room temperature. Yield: 6 to 8 servings   (Cooked this on 08/24/2008…used the turkey frier to get it all done at once.  Cooked it at 325F for around 12 minutes…your mileage may vary)
