📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine buttermilk and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl. Soak chicken in the mixture for at least ⏱️ 1 hr in the fridge.
buttermilk (See notes below.)3 cups
2
Heat the oil on the stovetop in a 12" cast iron skillet to 350°F
3
In a separate bowl, mix together all dry ingredients.
4
Dredge the chicken in the dry ingredients, and shake off any excess flour.
5
Carefully place the chicken in the skillet. It will sizzle and may splatter hot oil, so be careful.
6
Use tongs to rotate the chicken once a brown crust develops, and continue to rotate so it cooks evenly. Allow to cook for ⏱️ 8-10 minutes on each side for drumsticks and ⏱️ 10-12 minutes per side for the thighs. Use an instant thermometer to ensure the meat is fully cooked through.
