I made some home-made fried chicken in a deep enameled cast iron pot
.
I could have used my electric deep fryer
, but I’m a old-school food masochist.
Garlic-Pepper flavor Tabasco
hot sauce and ground sage.
The next day, I drained off the excess buttermilk and coated the pieces in all purpose flour inside a paper bag.
SHAKE ‘N BAKE!!!
Then I fried them in 325-350 degree oil (this time I used a combo of corn oil and bacon grease),
for about 20-25 minutes (turn pieces about halfway thru cooking time).
Important things to remember:
Have an accurate meat thermometer
handy as well to make sure the chicken is fully cooked:
Cook dark meat to 180 degrees F and white meat to 165 degrees F.
Have good ventilation, because you’ll get a good amount of grease and smoke while you are cooking.

Looks delicious! The overnight soaking mixture sounds yummy! What did you serve with them – cornbread?
No sides. This was a test-run, but i'd probably whip up some mac & cheese to go with it next time.
