Ingredients
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 4 pounds chicken cut into 8 pieces, discard backbone
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce optional
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Canola oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the chicken pieces with buttermilk, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour and paprika. Set up a baking sheet next to it.
- Take the chicken out of the buttermilk mixture. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it's well-coated. Place the coated chicken on the baking sheet and let it sit for about 30 minutes until the coating becomes paste-like.
- Fill a large dutch oven halfway with canola oil and heat it to 365°F. Fry the chicken in batches of 4 pieces, making sure not to crowd the pan. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is fully cooked.
