"Follow instructions for the best fried chicken you will ever have! Plan ahead the chicken need to soak in buttermilk mixture for 24 hours, also there is a 1 hour sitting time after coating the chicken. Make this as spicy as you like by adjusting the hot sauce and cayenne. A deep 10 to 11-inch diameter pot is recommended for this"
