Fried Chicken

Ingredients:

4 pounds chicken
1-quart buttermilk
1 tablespoon Tabasco or hot sauce of choice
2 c. flour
1/4 c. cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher white pepper
vegetable oil for frying

Steps

Step 1: To brine, place the pieces of chicken, buttermilk, and hot sauce in a large sealable container or plastic bag. Combine to coat the chicken, then place in the fridge overnight.
Step 2: Mix the flour, cornstarch, and seasonings in a medium mixing bowl. And using a wire rack, top a baking sheet. Remove the chicken from the brine and dredge the pieces in flour, coating the pieces evenly. Place them on the wire rack and into the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
