Optional Serving Suggestions:

This spicy fried chicken goes well with a side of coleslaw or fries. You can also serve it on a sandwich with some lettuce and tomato.

Tips and Notes:

• If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the chicken to ensure a crispy exterior. You can test it by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil. If it immediately sizzles and turns golden brown, the oil is ready.
• Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• If you prefer a milder sauce, you can reduce the amount of cayenne pepper and black pepper.
• For the best flavor, let the chicken marinate in the buttermilk mixture for at least 30 minutes or even overnight.
