Cajun Fried Chicken


Ingredients
1/4 cup Tabasco
3 cups buttermilk
3 teaspoons salt, divided
1 (2 1/2- to 3-pound) chicken, cut up into 8 pieces
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
oil for deep-frying

Directions
Combine buttermilk, tabasco, and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl or large resealable plastic bag and mix well. Add the chicken and cover bowl or seal bag; refrigerate for 6 to 24 hours.
Combine flour, remaining 2 teaspoons salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper in a shallow dish.
Remove chicken pieces from marinade and allow excess buttermilk to drip off.
Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture and let chicken sit for 10 minutes.
Add about 1-inch of oil to a large, deep skillet. Over a medium-high heat, bring oil to 350°F(use a thermometer in needed)
Fry chicken in batches of four, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
Transfer chicken to a wire rack set on a baking sheet to drain
