Cast Iron Fried Chicken

Recipe:

INGREDIENTS

• Chicken Legs or Thighs

• Hooters Wing Breading

• Hooters Seasoning Salt

• Peanut Oil

• Buttermilk

INSTRUCTION

• Remove chicken from the fridge roughly 20 minutes before cooking.

• Add the oil and fill just under half of the pan. Heat the oil to 350 degrees.

• Add your flour to one large bowl and the buttermilk to another bowl. First, lightly the coat the chicken with flour. Then, give it a good smothering in the buttermilk, and drip off excess milk. Finally, return it to the the breading for one last heavy coat. Shake it off.

• If your pan is at 350 degrees. Go ahead and carefully add your chicken. Do not overcrowd. The oil should cover just over half of your chicken.

• Cook on this side for 6-7 minutes. Then, flip each piece and cook for another 6-7 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken.

• Its always good to remove a larger piece and test it for an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

• Once chicken is done, remove it from the oil and place on a wire rack over a piece of foil to allow excess oil to drip off.

• While it still fresh out of the oil. Sprinkle generously with Hooters Seasoning Salt for a crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned piece of chicken. Enjoy.
