CONTEST-WINNING SUNDAY FRIED CHICKEN
The spicy coating for this chicken is one I've put together over the years. My recipe really got a workout when our four children (now married)were young and our family competed out on the rodeo circuit. Whenever the word spread I'd brought along fried chicken, the cowboys would crowd around! Today, my husband and I run an 800-acre cattle and quarter horse ranch.

Steps:
- Place chicken in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Add 2 tablespoons salt, the sugar, vinegar, and bay leaves and stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Place buttermilk in a large, shallow bowl. Lift chicken from brine and transfer to buttermilk. In another large, shallow bowl or zip-top bag, stir or shake together flour, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and pinch of cayenne to combine.
- Line a platter with a brown paper bag and place near stove. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat shortening over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350 degrees to 375 degrees (a small cube of bread should brown in less than 1 minute). Oil should be deep enough to come halfway up sides of chicken; the level will rise slightly when chicken is added. Beginning with larger pieces, lift chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off, and dredge or shake in flour mixture until evenly coated. Shake off excess.
- Working in batches, add chicken, skin side down, to pan (do not crowd pan); reduce heat to medium. Fry until golden brown on both sides and juices run clear when thigh is pierced with a knife (an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh, avoiding bone, should read 165 degrees), 10 to 12 minutes per side.
- Transfer chicken to platter to drain. Season with salt and pepper and let sit 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- To achieve a crispy outer layer and juicy, tender meat, double-coat the chicken in the seasoned flour mixture. - Use a combination of vegetable oil and butter for frying to prevent the butter from burning. - Maintain the oil temperature between 325°F and 350°F to ensure even cooking and a golden-brown crust. - Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent the chicken from steaming instead of frying. - Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 165°F for safe consumption. - Allow the fried chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to redistribute the juices and enhance the flavor. - Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.Conclusion:
With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create delicious and crispy fried chicken at home. Experiment with different seasonings and coatings to find your perfect combination. Whether you prefer a classic Southern-style fried chicken or a spicy Nashville-style variation, these recipes provide a solid foundation for creating a memorable meal that will satisfy your cravings. Remember to handle raw chicken properly to ensure food safety and always cook it to the recommended internal temperature. Enjoy the process of cooking and the satisfaction of biting into a perfectly fried piece of chicken!
