i made this chicken today for my family and it was good! i'm not good with making fried chicken but i got this right my husband told me, he liked the taste and all the different flavors he got from it, my three year old tored it up.. a little tip: you can season the flour with some of your powder season's you have at home not alot for the chicken to taste too salt.

I was skeptical at first because most other fried chicken recipes say to soak the chicken in buttermilk BUT I tried this recipe and it was the BEST fried chicken I have ever made. For the first time my chicken did not looked burned on the outside and undercooked inside. It was PERFECT! And the taste was AWESOME. I used 1/4 cup of salt and half the cayenne it called for because I did not want it to be too hot. It was just right for our household. LOVED IT! Thank you Sunny.

I Love This Recipe!!! Made it for my family for the first time a year ago, and they still rave about "the first time Mom got it perfectly fried" since I would tease that I have been trying to perfect my fried chicken recipe for the past 15 years. Now its just a given that fried chicken will be perfect! I actually never used cider for the brine, think its available in southern Ca. for about a week! But cider vinegar works great. Thanks Sunny!!!

Hi Sunny,
thank you for this wonderful recipe, I helped my son make this for his Sr Project, in Culinary Arts Program, at The Nashoba Valley Tech, Westford MA. And The Judges all loved it!

Crispy golden brown on outside, tender and juciy inside. I used a little less salt in the brine but this recipe rocks!

It came out very crunchy. As for the flavor, it wasn't anything that was just overwhelming the way it looked on the show. For the time it made to actually make, I could have stuck with my usual fried chicken recipe and it would have came out even better for half the time! Overall, I think it was okay.

I nor my family liked this recipe even a little bit. The chicken was tasteless. I thought the salt would season the chicken so I added nothing different. Big mistake, I will be going back to my original way a fying chicken.
