If you want to make really good fried chicken make Alton Browns. This recipe is a joke! I want my chicken to be juicy and have a lot of flavor. This chicken will have neither.

I'm surprised that they put this fried chicken recipe on the site, but I'm NOT surprised by the rating it's received thus far. I wouldn't doubt it's good, but the chef CLEARLY STATED on the show that he couldn't share the entire recipe because it's a secret family recipe & all he said was that there was salt & pepper in it.
Poor choice on F.N's part to include it here; they gave an undoubtedly good food a bad rap by including it thereby allowing people to review it when they haven't watched the particular episode & get the whole story...

I agree that this is not Hattie's recipe. First, the chef at Hatties said there were ingreidients that included salt and pepper, but that there was a secret ingredient as well. When you look at the recipe and then at the chicken, it is clear that the pepper is not fresh ground black pepper, since there is no black anywhere in that fried chicken. I am thinking it is white pepper instead. Also, there is something green, we are guessing fresh Cilantro. We are trying the recipe tonight and we are adding Bisquick to the flour 1/3 to 1 cup of flour and adding fresh minced cilantro to the chicken with white pepper and salt. We will let you know how it turns out.

BTW, Bobby Flay's recipe looked good, but if it was true Southern Fried Chicken, why add the honey/pepper glaze? Honey does belong with this dish, but on the biscuits, not on the chicken. My opinion.

I think the recipes shown on this site are Bobby's recipe's that HE used on the throwdown NOT the recipe of the person he challenged. When I looked up Red Velvet cake I noticed that it only called for one teaspoon of red food coloring. Bobby stated that he only used a little whereas The Cake Raven used a 1 oz bottle.

I grew up in the South and went to college in Saratoga Springs, and Hattie's fried chicken is some of the absolute best I've ever had, but I have a hard time believing that this is really the recipe the use

There is no way THIS recipe beat Bobby's. I just saw the Throwdown episode and there were several differences that Jasper made that is not included in the recipe. I don't have to waste the time and money on this recipe to know it would come out bland and burnt.

He didn't even give the whole recipe. This chicken looks very bland and boring and not truly southern. I hate ordering fried chicken in a restaurant because they all flash fry it in a deep fryer. I liked Bobby's recipe better, it's closer to mine (I'm from Kentucky. Though I don't like mine double dipped like Bobby did, too bready. Why did he go to NY for fried chicken??? What a joke!!!

In the 'Throw Down' program, Jasper stated his recipe has salt&pepper but he won't reveal ALL of his recipe, it's a secret. Well I still think he left out an ingredient or two in the recipe found here.
I find this recipe to be bland at best. Crispy chicken, but lacking in flavor. You can add flavor without adding seasoning that makes it spicey. Like cayenne.
My family loves it with onion powder and garlic powder also. Gives it some taste and some ZING!
Best of luck with your's!
