Step by Step Method

Step 1

Combine buttermilk, hot pepper sauce, and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a large glass bowl. Add chicken pieces, let sit for 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator, turning the chicken pieces over at least once. Once ready to cook, remove the chicken from the refrigerator.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 3

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and blot the excess liquid with paper towels.

Step 4

Mix the flour, remaining 2 teaspoons salt, breadcrumbs, granulated garlic, paprika, and black pepper in a large bowl.

Step 5

In a large frying pan, heat 1-inch of oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, toss the chicken in the flour, making sure the chicken is fully coated and dry. Fry the chicken 3 minutes on each side.

Step 6

Transfer each piece of chicken to a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack and bake until the internal temperature is 170 degrees F, about 25 more minutes.

I quartered a whole chicken and gave it 9 hours in the marinade and then proceeded with the recipe allowing 50 minutes to bake at 175C fan forced and the result was a crunchy coating and moist chicken and the meat on the wings was falling of the bone. The only change I would make is to halve the amount of the coating as I had heaps left over and as raw chicken had been in it, I threw it out. Thank you Sara, made for What's on the Menu tag game at Food Friends and Fun Forums.
