I want to make spicy fried chicken, any advice or recipes

[sasquatch]

I pretty much got the fried chicken part down, now I need a recipe though to make spicy fried chicken. You're advice is welcomed.
:hi:

1. It's easy.

In a big plastic bag, fill with enough flour, salt pepper and then whatever spice you like. We're currently swept up with the chipotle wave. Cannot tell you how much to add, since that is a personal choice. Anyway, toss in the chicken parts, close, shake, pull out the parts and fry. I would guess that a teaspoon of chipotle powder would be a good starting point.

3. I've been using Cayenne but it isn't working like I thought it would

Flavorful but not spicy.

5. The chipotle is worth a try. Its dried smoked jalapenos if you're not familiar with it...

much more heat than paprika.

2. One word: PAP-A-RIKA!

To quote Emeril.

4. I just use ground cayenne pepper in the dry dredge

and sometimes a little bit of Tabasco sauce in the wet.

My recipe is below. You can adjust the amounts of everything to suit your own taste. :)

Fried Chicken

Cut-up chicken pieces marinated overnight in salted, peppered chicken stock.

(dry dredge)
white flour
salt
pepper
paprika
garlic powder
ground cayenne pepper

(wet dredge)
2 beaten eggs
1 cup whole buttermilk
Tabasco sauce
little bit of water (like maybe 2 tbsps)

Melt enough shortening to fry however much chicken you have. Put the dry ingredients into a big gallon-sized Ziplock bag. Dip the chicken 1 piece at a time into the wet dredge, then put it into the bag and shake it with the dry. (For extra-crispy chicken, dip it back into the wet dredge and shake it in the dry a second time). When all the pieces are done, fry 'em up slow and easy in a big deep skillet, or a deep-fryer if you have one. :)

6. Corn flakes will improve any chicken recipe!

7. Season the chicken well before breading....

Or coating in flour, depending on what coating you're using. Seasoning the flour and then frying tends to burn your spices and the flavor comes out rather bland.

If you want spicy, I'd mix together some salt (kosher if you have it), pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, small dash of sugar, and chipotle powder spice. A little cayenne would work well too. I don't measure out the spices, but it should be a reddish salt/pepper looking mixture once stirred together. Taste the spices and see if it's as hot as you want, and add more chipotle and/or cayenne as needed... Shake or coat the chicken in the spices and set aside while you get your flour or bread crumbs mixed together. Then coat the spiced chicken in the flour/bread crumbs and fry away!

12. You're on the right path with the corn flakes (I recommend at least an entire box)...

But Tobasco? Fuck that, you need Frank's Red Hot.

9. I use the seasoned flour and Old Bay.

It is delicious, that's for sure.

:hi:

Be sure to serve it with a nice Seagram's wine cooler.

10. LOL!!

I'm an Ohioan sweety I don't drink wine coolers.

13. Always soak the chicken for 24 hours in buttermilk.

Tender, juicy and a wonderful flavor. I do this when I oven fry (bake) chicken too. Then dredge in seasoned flour, I like cayenne.

[sasquatch]

14. I always do that now

It does make for wonderful and juicy flavor.

15. Ancho Chili powder!

[sasquatch]

16. Do you buy that in Tienda's?

[KitchenWitch]

17. Actually I got it at Albertson's

[sasquatch]

22. Is that a California retail store?

[KitchenWitch]

23. I think they are predominantly western US, but they are owned by SuperValu

21. In addition to using cayenne (or something similar) in the breading, also...

...marinate it in a mixture of tabasco and buttermilk. Let it sit in this overnight, and it'll soak up a lot of the tabasco's heat.
