Paula Dean's Spicy Buttermilk Fried Chicken image

This is a great recipe if you like fried chicken! I usually place my chicken in the buttermilk mixture and let sit over night until the next evening when I prepare it. I also add more hot sauce to the buttermilk. Paula Dean definitely knows how to fry chicken!
