3 1/2 lb whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 C. buttermilk
2 tsp. hot sauce
Crisco® Pure Vegetable Oil
2 tsp. seasoned salt
1 tsp. Spice Islands® Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Spice Islands® Black Pepper
1 C. Clabber Girl® Corn Starch
1 C. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. Clabber Girl® Baking Powder
1-3/4 C. water

Directions

Place chicken in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag.
Add buttermilk and hot sauce; seal and refrigerate 2 hours.
Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture; lay flat on baking sheet.
Heat 1″ deep oil to 350° F in a large skillet.
Combine salt, garlic powder and pepper. Sprinkle chicken with seasonings: set aside.
In a large but shallow dish (such as a 13 x 9-inch pan) combine corn starch, flour, baking powder and water; mixing well to make a batter.
Dip chicken into batter; a few pieces at a time being careful to allow excess to drip off.
Using tongs, slowly place chicken into hot oil. Cook in small batches, turning frequently 15-20 minutes or until evenly browned and done.
Chicken should reach 165-170° F. using a meat thermometer. Drain on wire rack over paper towels.
