place that buttermilk into a large bowl. i line my bowl with a brining bag. ok now we're going to add in some good olhot sauce. i'm using franks because it's so doggone goodbut you can use any kind that you want to ok. and then we're gonna add in some onions, we'regoing to throw in a little bit of garlic, and you can also throw in some salt if youwant too, you know...add a little flavor for to it. but yeah go ahead and mix that up ok get itwell combined.
then we're going to take our little chickenhere, just one whole, cut up chicken fully thawed out. we don't want to use the frozen kind. and just place it right into this brine justlike this right here. perfect! go ahead and push it down like that, dunkit in there. then we're gonna take this bag and wrap itup. we want this chicken to be completely submergedin this brine alright! we're gonna brine it for 3 hours or so andthen when it's done, pour off that brine and
then shake off the excess brine from the chicken. i didn't even rinse them off i just went aheadand shook them really, really good and got as much buttermilk off as possible. now it's time to move on to our spices! i have a ton of different, yummy spices in here. just gonna mix this all up until it is wellcombined ok and then i'm gonna season up my chicken generously with this spice mixturefront and back . don't use all of it. maybe like half of it okay.
front and back make sure you season it reallyreally good. and really you can use any kind of spicesyou want to use. you can just go with the plain cajun spiceblend if you want to. it really doesn't matter just make sure youget it well seasoned like that. yum! looks perfect! alright now i have some self-rising all-purposeflour here. perfect for frying chicken! i'm going to add the remaining spices intothe flour.
stir it up. ooooh do not breath in this flour. oh my gosh you guys, i accidentally had aflour cloud come up and it went in my nose and i was going crazy child! it was burning so bad! stir it up just like this! you wanna taste the flour and make sure thatflour is well seasoned. if not add in more salt, pepper, whatevs justmake sure it tastes nice and salty and spicy ok?
now we have our brown paper bag here becausewe're old school! we're gonna dump our flour mixture into thebag and throw our chicken in there just like this right here. yes that's what you do! then roll that bag up and then we can pretendlike our name is ceilia foote and we're gonna shake this chicken up and we're gonna say"this is so much fun!". i love that movie, the help! oh my gosh you guys when they are making chickenthat is my favorite scene in that whole movie. love that movie so much!
and here's some little cleavage action foryou guys. heyyyy! go monique girl!!! alright so now we're gonna open up the bagand our chicken should be very well-coated. i love this method because it does it allin one little step. love it! shake off that excess flour. we don't need it! we don't need extra flour on our chicken,we don't need that!
shake it off and place it on a baking pan. and now it looks like this right here! it's perfect but we are not done. we want a nice, thick, crunchy coating sooooo... we'regonna mix up some eggs here. go ahead and whisk them with your fork reallygood until they are uniform in color. we don't want streaks or anything. nice yellow eggs. we're gonna throw in some water. and then we're gonna throw in some hot sauce!
we want is spicy, spicy! if you can't handle spicy chicken then thisis not for you honey because this chicken got a lil heat on it! next we're gonna throw in a little bit ofgarlic powder. we're gonna mix this on up like this righthere. alright now that is ready to go. we're gonna take our chicken, dip it intothis little hot sauce-egg mixture, turn it around, shake off the excess and place itright back into the bag with the flour. go ahead and repeat this with all of the chickenand then you know the drill honey go ahead
and wrap that bag right on up and shake, shakeshake! we are almost done with this part. yay!! even though i like doing this i was readyto be done with it. ok we're gonna check it out. our chicken should be very well coated. we're gonna shake it off. place it on our baking sheet. and now this chicken is ready for some oil.
go ahead and pour some oil into a deep skillet. i'm using vegetable oil but you could usesome shortening, you could use some peanut oil, whatever lifts ya skirt go ahead and do it! when that oil is nice and hot go ahead andplace your chicken in, just like this right here. now you don't want this oil to be splatteringand pop locking and dropping. if the oil is popping and smoking, it's toohot, turn it down sister! ok we don't want it to be too hot now! it just sound like nice soothing rain.
