Fried Chicken

This fried chicken recipe is great hot..or cold...and so easy to make.

I used one package of chicken tenderloins, about 1.5 lbs.

In a large bowl, toss chicken with 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 pepper, 1/2 tsp each of  onion powder and garlic powder.  This can be covered and refrigerated overnight, if you want to make this step ahead.

Into a cast iron skillet, place one inch of oil and heat over medium until 350 degrees.

In a bowl, whisk 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1 tsp each paprika and salt.

In another bowl, whisk 1/2 cup buttermilk with 1/2 tsp hot sauce.

Coat the chicken in buttermilk mixture, then dredge in flour, turning to coat.  Fry in batches (don't overcrowd skillet), turning, til golden and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.  Transfer to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet.

Chill for a picnic tomorrow...or eat it now!
