Spicy Fried Chicken

Created by CookerKatia on September 21, 2013

4 1/2 pound whole chicken (cut into 10 pieces, or just use 10 pieces of your favorite chicken parts)
1/2 cup hot sauce (or more, Frank's Red Hot)
1 quart buttermilk
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Step 1: Put the chicken in a large mixing bowl, add the hot sauce, buttermilk, salt, pepper, and garlic; stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 8-24 hours, turning the chicken pieces several times.
Step 2: Remove the chicken from the refrigerator. In a deep cast-iron skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 360 degrees F.
Step 3: Combine the flour and 4 teaspoons of the Creole seasoning in a 13 x 9inch pan.
Step 4: Add chicken pieces then using your hands toss in the flour coating evenly and shaking off any excess.
Step 5: Transfer breaded to a rack, allow to sit 15-20 minutes.
Step 6: Fry the chicken, 4 to 5 pieces at a time, in the hot oil until golden brown, about 6 minutes on each side.
Step 7: Drain on paper towels.
Step 8: Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning.
Step 9: Serve hot.
