I just watched the video of Aaron making this and based on what he said, this recipe is wrong regarding the seasoning. I wrote down specifically what he said and I can also say that what I made was fantastic. I did add about 2 tsp of dried thyme.
Recipe: Fill cast iron skillet halfway with canola oil. Mix together 1/4 c of seasoned salt, 1/4 c smoked paprika, 3 Tbsp each granulated garlic and onion powder, 1 tsp cayenne pepper and 1 Tbsp of black pepper. This is tastier than what is on the site. Seasoned salt is tastier than kosher salt and smoked paprika is more flavorful than sweet paprika. The 4 c of flour was correct and this is how it should be. Check the video and see for yourself. You can deep fry this as well at 350-375.

My husband and I absolutely love this recipe. It's the best fried chicken I've ever had! I ask my hubby to make this often as it's just that good! Pairs well with sour cream & chive mashed potatoes and sweet corn!
