    For Kevin in Az., if you are still wondering about a subatitute for peanut oil try canola oil instead. It always works for me.

    I needed a new creative way to make fried chicken then just oil, flour and a few house blends....
    I made this dish for my family and it was sure to leave you licking your fingers afterwards. IT WAS SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!! You may want to add some of your own house blend spices just to give it a little more flavor. This recipe as given is for those who is watching there salt intake so it can be pretty bland.
    You know the south, nothing says Good unless you have really good seasoned chicken. HOME RUN FOR SURE!!!

    I have read some of you all's comments below and want to respond to them.


    As for the fried chicken, I see a lot of you have said that the chicken was not spicy at all, even the one's who followed the recipe to the letter. You guys have to remember, that everyone's taste buds are different. I was shocked to see a lot of people say that it wasn't spicy at all, cause we all see Pat and Gina constantly add hot sauce and cayenne pepper to everything, and it's making me question that all there other "spicy" recipes aren't as spicy. To make it easier on you guys all you have to do is just adjust the recipe to your taste. I honesty, don't season my meat with salt and pepper. It just seems so bland to me. I either use season salt, hot sauce, or lemon pepper. Now I'm from the south, I'm from Atlanta, GA, and Iove my food spicy and believe me, my stuff is spicy cause everyone is already taking a sip after they take a bite, lol. But you just have to adust things to your liking and do what a lot of chefs/cooks do. Taste your food. Taste your buttermilk batter and see if it was spicy enough for you or not, it's as simple as that. It's not rocket science.

    As for the collard greens and sweet potato pie, again, it's adjustments and everyone cooks familiar dishes differently. The sweet potato pie recipe that is in my family is SO MUCH SIMPLIER than the ones the Neely's did, but I like to taste other people's recipes.

    But for the lady that said that she will just stick to store bought chicken, just give it another chance, if not this recipe another one, and just remember to taste.

    All, this is a recipe where you can make it as spicy as you feel necessary. I add garlic pepper and instead of regular salt I used seasoning salt. For those who really like it hot add hot pepper flakes to the buttermilk. Also, add the dry seasonings and let sit for 2- 5 minutes prior to adding to the buttermilk. Great recipe, but again the spiciness is up to you.

    Ladies and Gents disrgard reviews about being bland, sometimes as cooks you have to use common sense and have experience cooking. If you already season your chicken a certain way keep doing it, this is just an simple outline of a way to properly prepare "Great" southern fried chicken.

    From the south so we know our fried chicken. Perhaps this would be decent if they wouldnt have titled it SPICY. It was not...at least for my taste buds. I dont know what it was missing...but something. Nonetheless, I still ate it. I will make it again but tweek it.

    Would someone advise me on a substitute for peanut oil as I have a family member with a nut allergy. Thanks sooo much!
