I am convinced that the restaurant owners do not play fair; they don't tell everything, or purposely change the recipe so as not to be copied... 350 degrees is nowhere near hot enough. I put about 3/4 inch of lard in a cast-iron skillet, let it heat at 350 for half hour. I put in the chicken, and there was no sizzle at all. It just sat there soaking up grease. So, I started over, tossed the previous batch and this time pre-heated to 450. This time it sizzled, cooked and was better, but not what I would have expected. The buttermilk idea is great, however, the chicken was very flavorful if not crispy. I'm back to stove-top fried.

Here's a few of tips for this recipe. Let the chicken come to room temperature and let some of the marinade drip off the chicken before you dredge it in the flour. I also mixed about 1 tablespoon of the rub in the flour dredge. Increase oven temp to 400 degrees and make sure your pan is big enough so that the chicken doesn't get crowded in the pan. If it's too crowded, it will steam and you won't get a crisp coating. I also thought 4 cups of sugar way to much (before I made the whole batch of rub to work for this amount of rub ingredients. I used 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup of light brown sugar. The chicken turned out pretty well but may need a little more tweeking before I make it the next time.

I got the same results when i tried this recipe, 350 is not hot enough. The next time I will let the oil pre-heat at 350 for about an hour or less depending on how hot it gets without smoking me out of my kitchen. Let the chicken come to room temp and then put it in the oil. I think when I put it in the oil, I will turn up the oven a tad bit to keep the chicken cooking at a steady fry. I hope this works.

use only 2 cups of sugar and it will be fine. Use extra on any kind of meat b4 grilling or bbq/smoking.

...I preheated the oil and I don't think 350 is hot enough. The flour was soggy and did not develop a nice crust.

Was recommended to try this restuarant by friend who watched the food network and I am greatly dissappointed. The food took almost 2 hours to recieve, my order was pancakes,eggs, bacon, and grits. Any fast food place could have made this cheaper, faster and better. I could understand if the place was crowded, but it wasn't. Very disappointed with this place, will never go back. They need the guy from Hells Kitchen to visit.

I was so looking forward to trying this as it looked so good on TV. Maybe I did something wrong, I don't know.

4 Cups of sugar in this made it way too sweet for my liking. In fact, I don't really want my fried chicken sweet at all. I have a convection oven, but it seemed like 350 was not hot enough. The chicken never got crispy and it only mildly bubbled in the oil. So I ended up with moist, but very mushy chicken. The coating fell of when you picked it up.

I also like to make gravy from the drippings, but so much of the coating had fallen off during cooking, it made the gravy sweet as well.

I like the idea of cooking it in the oven, but this didn't work for me at all.

Now I have a huge container of the seasoning mix that I guess I'll just throw out.

I couldn't find a place for questions so if anyone knows...

On this same episode, she made Afro burgers. Do you have the recipe for that?
