My son requested this for Superbowl Sunday tailgating. So I made this recipe out of Paula's Southern Bible Cookbook. I wish I would have looked online also. The one in SB doesn't have the hot sauce. Although it was FANTASTIC, the hot sauce would have made it SUPERB!! After I shake the chicken, I do let it sit in the frig for 1 hour to let the flour dry. It tends to make it crispier. Also, I know that the ones that came with my cut up chicken, for the breasts, Paula's cooking times were off for me. My chicken breasts took no less than 25 minutes to get to 180 degrees and my oil was at the right temp. This recipe is a prime example why Paula is Queen of the Kitchen.

I'm very new at cooking for myself so I was nervous about trying this recipe out, but I'd been craving fried chicken and didn't want to go the fast food route. This recipe looked easy (and it was, to say the least!) and I have to say I am beyond impressed at how simple it was to make and how fantastic the results were. My daughter came home and couldn't quit raving about how good this chicken was. I knew Paula would have the best recipe and I was right - thank you Miss Paula, from a grateful and stuffed fan!!!

I just love you, Paula Deen. You have given me ideas and recipes that I never realized existed! I have been cooking for many years, and I can put together a meal that I have made out of "nothing". All one needs is a little imagination I would like to meet you someday in person! Thanks for all you contribute to my cooking pleasure. Ms. Dru Myers

Some time ago I saw a recipe in your mag. from your son. It was some kinda rice krispie bar that had M&M's in them. Seems I have misplaced the recipe and I am hoping you have it for me...... Love your magazines and recipes!!

This was hands-down the BEST fried chicken my family has ever had! It was so good that even my 8-year-old son dropped to the floor saying he "died and went to Heaven". I plan to give this recipe to the other women in my family for their families to enjoy as well. THANK YOU, Paula!! I did notice that "marinating" the chicken in your House Seasoning for 3-4 hours before preparing it made it EXTRA TASTY. Good eating!
