List of Ingredients

◦  1 (3½-pound) whole chicken, cut into eight pieces
◦  2 cups whole buttermilk
◦  1 tablespoon hot sauce
◦  2½ cups all-purpose flour
◦  2 teaspoons salt, divided
◦  1 teaspoon ground black pepper
◦  1 cup canola oil
◦  Waffles (recipe follows)
◦  Sorghum syrup (optional)


Recipe

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine chicken, buttermilk, and hot sauce; seal bag. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray the rack of a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray; place rack in pan. In a shallow dish, combine flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper; stir with a whisk.

Remove chicken from plastic bag, letting excess buttermilk mixture drain from chicken; discard buttermilk mixture. Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Dredge chicken in flour mixture.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is golden brown on all sides, five to eight minutes. (Brown chicken in batches, if necessary. Do not crowd pan.) Adjust heat to medium, if needed. Place chicken on prepared broiler rack.

Bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 165° F, 15 to 30 minutes. (Be sure that thermometer does not touch bone.) Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve with waffles and syrup, if desired.
