CAJUN FRIED CHICKEN
This Cajun fried chicken recipe is bathed in buttermilk and turns out crisp, slightly spicy, perfectly deep-fried loveliness thanks to its Southern charm and Louisiana personality. Quite literally the best we've had.

Steps:
- Pat the chicken dry. Place the chicken in a large bowl, season it with the salt, pepper, cayenne, white pepper, garlic powder, and hot sauce, and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.☞TESTER TIP: The longer you let the chicken stay in the fridge, the more thoroughly the seasonings will permeate the chicken.
- Remove the chicken from the bowl, allowing any liquid to drip back into the bowl, and place it in a clean bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the top.
- Heat the lard, vegetable shortening, or bacon fat in a large cast-iron skillet until it registers 350°F (176°C) on an instant-read thermometer or a pinch of flour immediately sizzles when dropped into the fat.
- While the oil heats, remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess liquid to drip off, and place the chicken in yet another clean bowl.
- Sprinkle the chicken with the flour and toss to coat.
- When the oil is ready, add the chicken pieces to the skillet in batches, starting with the larger pieces and shaking off any excess flour before adding them to the oil. Do not crowd the skillet. For the crispest results, you want ample room around each piece in the oil. Cook the chicken, using tongs to turn the chicken occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on the temperature of the oil, making sure the oil doesn't get too hot.
- Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels or a brown paper bag. Return the oil to temperature before frying each subsequent batch of chicken. The smaller pieces will take about 6 minutes on each side.

FRIED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS WITH CAJUN DRY RUB
This seasoning mixture closely resembles Wing Stop's Louisiana Dry Rub flavor. They are mouth-watering. You can use wings too, but decrease the frying time by 2 minutes so the wings do not dry out. I suggest making plenty of the spice rub, you will want to use it on MANY things you cook.

Steps:
- 1. Place chicken pieces and buttermilk (or milk and vinegar) in a large zipper bag (or covered container.) Marinate at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator. Turn bag periodically to be sure chicken marinates evenly.
- 2. Drain chicken, discard milk. Pat chicken THOROUGHLY dry with paper towels. If chicken is not well-dried when it is placed in the hot oil, the oil could sputter and splash, causing serious burns.
- 3. Place the flour in a zippered food storage bag and toss each dried piece of chicken to coat. Place flour coated chicken pieces on a tray in the fridge for at least 10 minutes while oil heats.
- 4. In a deep kettle, or commercial deep fryer, heat oil to 325 degrees farenheit, 185 degrees celcius. Check temperature with a safe, candy or deep-fryer thermometer that is designed to measure at high temperatures.
- 5. When oil is ready, add chicken to hot oil with tongs or a long handled spoon to avoid burns. Do not over crowd the pan, fry in several batches. Fry pieces 8 to 10 minutes ( about 5 minutes per side, thicker pieces may need additonal time in the oven to finish cooking) until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels or a cooking rack for about 1 minute.
- 6. Place drained chicken pieces into the bowl with the spice mixture and using tongs or long handled spoons, toss chicken to coat in the seasoning (make more seasoning if needed.) Transfer to a baking sheet and hold pieces in a warm (200 degree) oven until all pieces are cooked.
- 7. In a small sauce pan, combine ketchup with diced jalapeno and brown sugar. Heat thoroughly. Serve as a dipping sauce with chicken.

I found this recipe a while back and had to try it. My husband and I fell in love with it. He has to have it at least twice a week. Sometimes I use boneless, skinless chicken breast in place of the drumsticks--the breasts take less cooking time. Enjoy!

These chicken drumsticks are packed with flavor yet they are easy to prepare. The addition of baking powder will help crisp up the skin. I prefer to make my own Cajun spice mix but feel free to use store-bought Cajun mix.

- In a small bowl, stir together all the spices for cajun seasoning. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Line up drumsticks on the prepared tray.
- Sprinkle with cajun seasoning on both sides. Leave the side with the most meat and skin facing up.
- Put a dab of about 1/2 tablespoon butter on the top of each drumstick, on the part that is most meaty. The butter will melt all over the meat and skin, keeping the meat juicy, and making the skin crispy.
