I got this recipe from a friend..It is awesome, It is almost just like mine!!!
This recipe is for 2-3 pounds of bone-in chicken pieces, but smaller amounts can be used.
Marinade (optional but recommended):
6 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup salt
1/3 cup hot sauce
Breading:
3 cups all purpose flour
5 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 pounds (32 oz) vegetable shortening or oil
Combine buttermilk, 1/4 cup of salt, and hot sauce in a large container. Add chicken pieces, turning to coat in the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Combine flour, 5 tablespoons salt, pepper, and baking powder. Place mixture in a brown paper bag. One at a time, place marinated chicken pieces in bag and shake to coat. Remove each piece after coating and place on a plate. Heat shortening or oil in a deep fryer or deep pan to 375 degrees. Important: oil must be heated exactly to 375, if too cold, breading will be soggy, if too hot, breading will burn. Fry chicken in pan until dark golden brown on bottom, about 15 minutes. Turn over and fry for 15 minutes on other side. If using deep fryer, simply immerse in oil for 15-20 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and drain. You can keep chicken warm in a 200 degree oven. Serve with potato salad or mashed potatoes.
