Nashville Hot Chicken! (Just Like KFC!)

Recipe: Nashville Hot Chicken!
Salt and pepper enough chicken the fill your frying pan.
Let it rest in the frig over night, then make a wash to cover the
chicken.
Wash: 1 & 1/2 cups of buttermilk and 1/2 cup half & half.
Add 1/2 cup of pickle juice. 2 whole eggs, 1/4 cup Louisiana Hot Sauce... Mix well and pour over chicken, and put it back in the
frig for 2 to 4 hours. (Overnight is OK as well)
Make a dry mixture of 1 & 1/2 cups all purpose flour and 1/2
cup of corn starch. Also add 1/2 tsp. sage, 1/2 tsp. basil, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1 tbsp. paprika. Mix and set aside.
Sauce to pour over your chicken when done!
I kept adding stuff until I got this!...
Heat over low heat! :
1/2 cup of your fryer oil, 3/4 stick of butter, 2 tbsp. lard,
1 tsp. garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. black pepper.
1 heaping tbsp. brown sugar, 3 tbsp. cayenne pepper,
1 tbsp. paprika, mix well and set aside... heat up later!
Take chicken out of your egg and milk bath and shake off
excess... dredge your chicken in the flour then in the wash
then back in the flour! (double dip)
Repeat with all pieces then let the chicken rest for 15 minutes
before frying. You can refrigerate the chicken during this 15
minutes or not. Because it sat in salt all night it is safe to set
for 15 minutes at room temp.
Fry the chicken in hot oil between 325 and 350 degrees.
Turn often to prevent burning until internal temp is 165!
Remove and let rest on a rack for 5 minutes then serve on
a piece of white bread and drizzle the hot sauce all over the chicken. Put pickle chips on top, (I like bread and butter)
This recipe takes a while to make but it is Great!
Enjoy!
