Number Of Ingredients 6

1 quart buttermilk
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Two 2 1/2-pound fryer chickens, cut into 8 pieces
2 cups all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Stir together buttermilk and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper in a large bowl; add chicken, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
  • In a large brown paper bag, combine flour with remaining 1 teaspoon cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper; shake to combine. One at a time, place chicken pieces in the bag; shake to coat. Place coated pieces on a clean plate or tray.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 inches oil to 350 degrees. Using tongs, add chicken one piece at a time, being careful to not overcrowd pan. Fry, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until deep mahogany in color, about 18 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet, and drain on a brown paper bag. Serve hot, warm, or cold.

I'm not a huge fan of fried chicken, but this recipe was really good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was tangy and sweet.

I tried this Mahogany fried chicken recipe and it was a winner! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. The mahogany sauce was just the right balance of sweet and savory.
