DH and I ate at Hattie's "Chicken Shack" years ago. It was a memorable experience. http://www.hattiesrestaurant.com/ I was happy to see this recipe in Food & Wine, 2001. "This highly seasoned chicken will showcase the flaovors of a smooth, rich, fruity Chardonnay such as the 1998 Acacia Carneros or the 1998 Chalone."

Tips for Making Hattie's Fried Chicken:

1. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your fried chicken will be. Use fresh, free-range chicken, and choose a good quality oil for frying, such as vegetable oil or peanut oil. 2. Season the chicken well: Hattie's fried chicken is known for its flavorful seasoning. Be sure to season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and paprika before frying. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper, to taste. 3. Fry the chicken in hot oil: The key to crispy fried chicken is to fry it in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit before you add the chicken. 4. Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop, and the chicken will not cook evenly. 5. Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through: The chicken should be cooked until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 10-12 minutes per side. 6. Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful. ###
