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!!!

this came out really good. all that hot sauce sounds like it would come out really spicy but since it is only in the egg wash it does not....just gives a hint of kick after you have taken a couple of bites. A keeper.I used Texss Petes Mild sauce

I thought I was reading wrong when I saw ONE CUP SALT for the house dressing. I put in only one half cup, then I realized that Paula Dean knows wha she's talking about so I put in the full cup. My instincts were right. We could feel our arteries hardening with all that salt. My husband and I overlooked the salt and loved everything else about the chicken which was very tender with a cruncy batter. I'll do it again with HALF CUP SALT.

This is a fool proof fried chicken recipe! I chose a mild wing sauce instead of the Texas Pete for members of my family that are "heat intolerant". I'm passing thus recipe on to the young people that are cooking on their own for the first time....it's that simple and tastes fantastic!!
