  • Soak chicken in Buttermilk and hot sauce mixture at least 3 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Heat oil in a large deep pot to 350°F DO NOT FILL POT MORE THEN HALF FULL WITH OIL.
  • Flour Mixture:In a Ziploc bag, combine 1 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, a pinch of cayenne pepper,1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Close bag and mix well.
  • Pat chicken dry with a clean paper towel and sprinkle with garlic powder and Creole seasoning.
  • One piece at a time, Place chicken in inside ziploc bag flour mixture.

This recipe is a waste of time. The chicken was dry and flavorless.

This recipe is way too complicated. I ended up giving up and ordering takeout instead.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken didn't come out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I had a hard time finding all of the spices that the recipe called for. I ended up substituting some of them and the chicken didn't turn out as flavorful as I had hoped.
