Fried Chicken is by far my favorite fried food and possibly my favorite food ever. It is a favorite with many of my readers too. In the past year, it has received over 200 hits every single day. It is continuously in the top three posts on my blog month after month and year after year. I did not realize my readers had such a love for fried chicken. This fried chicken recipe is now three years old. Back then, I blogged mostly about Southen specialties. After all, I am from the South. I grew up in lower Alabama, L.A. of the South, Mobile, Alabama. I have also lived all over the South. Therefore, I know my Southern fried food. They are my comfort foods and make my heart sing with every bite.

Fried Chicken Connoisseur
My family calls me a fried chicken connoisseur. I am incredibly picky about my fried chicken. If fried chicken is on the menu, I am ordering it. I have found lots of restaurants who have excellent fried chicken, but honestly, I still love my fried chicken the best.
I love a tasty piece of chicken, and this fried chicken has not only great flavor but super crunchy and juicy. YES! I am ready for a throw down with Bobby Flay. This fried chicken is the best Fried Chicken Recipe!
The chicken is marinated in buttermilk and a little hot sauce. It is juicy, very crispy, and has a beautiful, flavorful crust. I have been working on the combination of spices for my deep fried chicken for years, and you cannot beat the flavors.
