  • 1 whole (3 1/2 pound) chicken (cut up into 10 pieces)
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 3 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (dry)

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.
