Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce (if using). Add chicken pieces, ensuring they're fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. The buttermilk tenderizes the chicken and helps the breading stick.
Step 2: Prepare Your Breading Station
Pour SUPERB BLEND Coating Mix into a shallow dish or large zip-top bag. If desired, mix in paprika for extra color. Our premium breading mix is already perfectly seasoned with our family's five-generation recipe—no additional seasonings needed!
Step 3: Heat the Oil
Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer with 2-3 inches of vegetable oil. Heat to 350°F (use a thermometer for accuracy). Maintaining the right temperature is key to crispy, not greasy, chicken.
Step 4: Bread the Chicken
Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece thoroughly in the SUPERB BLEND coating mix, pressing gently to ensure even coverage. Shake off excess breading.
Pro tip: For extra-crispy chicken, let breaded pieces rest on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before frying. This helps the coating adhere better.
Step 5: Fry to Golden Perfection
Carefully lower chicken pieces into hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for:
- Wings: 8-10 minutes
- Drumsticks and thighs: 12-14 minutes
- Breasts: 14-16 minutes
Turn pieces occasionally for even browning. Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 165°F and coating is deep golden brown.
Step 6: Drain and Serve
Transfer fried chicken to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. The coating will stay crispy for hours!
