2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. cornstarch
1 tsp. each salt, black pepper, cayene pepper
Peanut oil preferred

directions

1
Clean and wash chicken. Clean your kitchen sink thoroughly. Make sure none of the cleaner is left behind.
2
Fill the kitchen sink with warm water. Mix in vinegar and a pinch of salt. Soak at least 30 minutes.
3
After soaking, set chicken on baking trays. Pat chicken dry. Powder with Lawry’s Seasoning Salt. Leave for 10-15 minutes.
4
Mix flour with cornstarch, salt, pepper,and cayene pepper. Dip chicken in buttermilk and then in flour mixture and let stand on rack for a few minutes to set. Heat oil in a deep fryer and fry chicken until golden brown. Yum!
