    Excellant!! Soaked the chicken in buttermilk and hot sauce for 24 hours-added cayenne to the flour mix-fried it up-was so juicy, crunchy and delicious! The hot sauce does tend to get lost-even though using it twice-but still tasted great!

    I agree with everyone else here, this is a fantastic recipe. I made it exactly as written and man o man was that chicken good! I have tried making fried chicken for years and was never any good at it. This recipe makes it really easy. I especially like all the great seasonings. KFC look out! Paula, thanks!

    Wow! What a dish. That was the best fried chicken I've ever tasted. Paula Deen knows her chicken. My family absolutely LOVED it. Don't b fooled by the hot sauce. It wasn't spicy like that at all. Perfect crisp & crunch. This recipe will b on my dinner schedule frequently.

    This was my second time making fried chicken - I wanted something uncomplicated and tasty so this seemed like a winner. And it was! I substituted the self-rising flour with regular all-purpose flour and it still turned out fine. I used a large chicken -just over 4 lbs- left the backbone on the thighs, though I discarded the bone separating the two breasts. I used an oval 5qt enameled dutch oven with a candy/meat thermometer to monitor the temperature. I fried the chicken in batches -thighs, then drumsticks/wings, then breasts- when each batch was done, I put it on a rack over a lined baking sheet in the oven at 200F. The recommended cooking times combined with the order of dark to white meat resting in the oven was perfect - I couldn't believe that every piece was perfectly cooked and juicy. I do wish the Frank's Hot Sauce I used showed up more - I may add some cayenne to the house seasoning next time. Overall an excellent recipe that I will definitely make again!

    Neither my wife nor I have ever been very good at frying chicken. We don't own a cast iron skillet so we can't do it like Grandma. We do have a small electric fryer & this recipe turned out the best fried chicken we have ever made! Now... a question. I can only put 2 pieces in at a time. What is the best way to keep it warm without causing condensation, like aluminum foil seems to do, so that the outside stays nice & crisp? This recipe will be in our recipe box for sure!!!
