    There are so many interpretations of this classic. This version is a little contemporary Southern, and is great for those who like a little kick to their favorites. It does take a bit of time, needing to soak from 8 to 24 hours, which I have not included in the preparation time.

    Spicy Fried Chicken, There are so many interpretations of this classic This version is a little contemporary Southern, and is great for those who like a little kick to their favorites It does take a bit of time, needing to soak from 8 to 24 hours, which I have not included in the preparation time , Wonderful! I usually oven fry my chicken anymore, so this was totally indulgent used breasts, thighs, and drumsticks and they were all gone in one day lol Thanks for sharing this nice winner, Jackie Made for Culinary Quest 2014
