I made this exactly as directed. My husband found the crust unbearably salty & I agree.
It had a too-pronounced garlic flavor.
I had the burner on medium-low instead of medium, and the crust got way too brown in spite of that! I do like the technique of getting a crust on the chicken, then finishing in the oven since a lot of oil drained off & the chicken was not greasy. If I made this again, I'd skip the tabasco & soak in buttermilk & a small amount of salt, dredge in a seasoned flour & fry as directed just until crust was a pleasing golden-brown color, then bake at 350 until done. I make hot wings with half butter and half Frank's hot sauce on fried chicken wings; I might try brushing that on the finished fried chicken. I couldn't taste butter at all in the chicken crust of this recipe so it was just a waste.

You haven't HAD fried chicken until you've tried this recipe! I am not kidding... every single bite was better than the last. The chicken is infused with such an amazing flavor combination, rather than the usual fried chicken that just tastes good on the outside, this fried chicken is absolutely delicious all the way through. I used drumsticks and soaked overnight in a large bowl. I was surprised that this method was MUCH cleaner than my usual method and so much easier. I usually double batter, but with this recipe it's not necessary. Using butter in your vegetable oil adds such a rich taste to the crispy skin as well. I will NEVER go back to my old fried chicken. Thank you SO MUCH GILLIAN CLARK!!!

JUST MADE THIS TONIGHT, VERY GOOD. IT IS VERY CRUNCHY (IF YOU LIKE THAT. I PERSONALLY THINK THE FLOUR MIXTURE COULD USE SOME ADDITIONAL SEASONING. MAKE SURE THE OIL IS NOT "TOO" HOT. OH AND THE FLOUR AND THE BUTTERMILK MEASUREMENTS ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR 8 PIECES. I MADE MORE AND STILL SOME LEFT OVER. NEXT, I WILL TRY BOBBY'S RECIPE

This recipe is very delicious. I don't really make fried chicken because of the fat and calories, but I will make an exception for this recipe. I did not have Tabasco so I used Tapatio. Wow great flavor, but next time I will add the Tapatio & some tabasco for heat. I thought the 4 cups of flour was wasteful with only 8 pieces of chicken. I will cut the flour mixture in half next time. I will also omit the butter since I really couldn't taste it, and it left the oil very dark brown and I felt I didn't want to reuse it again. Just good old corn oil next time. Definitely worth the effort. The buttermilk made the chicken so tender and delicious. It is worth letting the buttermilk mixture marinate overnight.

I liked using the buttermilk and garlic.. Not a fan of the hot sauce, and I felt the flour needed more seasoning. Chicken was moist and tender but a little greasy. Not the fried chicken taste I was looking for.

I only give this recipe a 4 because as far as fried chicken goes it's very good but it's not earth shattering. The crispiness was right on and it has a good flavor. To the person who rated this one star because it wasn't cooking correctly....that's what we like to call Operator Error. I'm not sure what you did wrong but this chicken came out perfectly done and crunchy. Make sure you let your oil get hot, don't crowd the pan because it will lower the oil temp, don't flip it too much because then it just absorbs a lot of oil and finish it in the oven for perfect crispness. Again, a very good fried chicken recipe but I will keep looking for something even better, maybe I should try Bobby Flay's version from this throwdown.

If I could have given this recipe a negative rating, then I would have. I have the drumsticks in the oven as I type this. I started cooking over two hours ago. I fried each drumstick and then put the chicken in the oven at 350 as instructed. It is well over one hour and the &$* chicken is still undercooked. Just ruined an entire meal with my family. Everything is done except for the stinking chicken. WORST RECIPE EVER.

There was way too much salt in this recipe, it almost made it inedible. Other than that this was a really good recipe.

Great recipe! First time ever cooking fried chicken and everything turned out great! Tabasco gave it a nice little kick without being too spicy. The combination of pan frying and finishing in the oven resulted in juicy and tender meat with a nice crispy skin. I'll definitely make this one again!
