Fried Chicken
1 (3 to 4 pound) chicken, cut up into 10 pieces
Kosher salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne
Freshly ground black pepper
1 quart buttermilk
2 tablespoons hot chili sauce (recommended: Srirachi)
Peanut oil, for frying
1/4 bunch fresh thyme
3 big sprigs fresh rosemary
1/4 bunch fresh sage
1/2 head garlic, smashed, husk still attached
Lemon wedges, for serving
Put the chicken pieces into a large bowl. Cover the chicken with water by 1 inch; add 1 tablespoon of salt for each quart of water used. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
In a large shallow platter, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne until well blended; season generously with salt and pepper. In another platter combine the buttermilk and hot sauce with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
Drain the chicken and pat it dry. Dredge the pieces, a few at a time, in the flour mixture,
then dip them into the buttermilk; dredge them again in the seasoned flour. Set aside and let the chicken rest while you prepare the oil.
Put about 3 inches of oil into a large deep pot; it should not come up more than half way. Add the thyme, rosemary, sage, and garlic to the cool oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil registers 350 to 365 degrees F on one of those clip-on deep-fry thermometers. The herbs and garlic will perfume the oil with their flavor as the oil comes up to temperature.
Once the oil has reached 350 to 365 degrees F, working in batches, carefully add the chicken pieces 3 or 4 at a time. Fry, turning the pieces once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Total cooking time should be about 30 minutes. When the chicken is done, take a big skimmer and remove the chicken pieces and herbs from the pot, shaking off as much oil as you can, and lay it on a tea towel or brown paper bag to soak up the oil. Sprinkle all over with more salt and a dusting of cracked black pepper. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Once all the chicken is fried, scatter the fried herbs and garlic over the top. Serve hot, with big lemon wedges.

If your asking for a recipe, and if you like spicy, try this; Buy yourself a cut-up frying chicken at the market. Wash it. Pat it dry with paper towels... Put three cups of flour, a tablespoon of Lawry's Season Salt and a teaspon of black pepper in a bag. An empty bread bag (with no holes) will do...Take a cup of your favorite hot sauce and put it in a bowl. Add a half a cup of water. If your brave, you can leave the water out and just go with the hot sauce...
Dip the pieces of chicken into the hot sauce, then drop them into the bag of flour mix. Take them out of the flour mix and drop them into a deep fryer, that's been heated to 350 degrees.
Cook all of the heavy pieces first. The breast, back, thighs, etc. because they take longer to cook, but stay hot longer. This is my favorite chicken...

SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
1 frying chicken, skin removed if you
want lower fat. I leave the skin on.
3 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup vegetable oil
Season chicken with all seasonings. Roll chicken in flour until covered. Shake off excess flour. Sprinkle additional seasoning.
Simply fry chicken in frying pan until golden brown. I like it crispy so I cook it a little longer than most.
You can start out with the oil very hot and then reduce it later. This seals in the moisture and flavor, then cooks it.

Marinade chicken with light soya sauce and set to rest in the fridge for an hour or so. Next, coat chicken with flour and deep fried in oil..

Homer has a good one. I do mine similar, except I leave it in the hot sauce (no water) a minimum of 1 hour, THEN coat in flour mixture, dip in buttermilk, and shake again in flour mixture. Makes the crust crispier.

clean chicken and wash it thoroughly. Then you can put basically any type of seasoning for marination. Soyasauce is poular but you can try vinegar and then dip it in egg after marination and then in bread crumbs then fry!!!
