Ingredients

Procedure

1. Preheat fryer to 350°F. In a large bowl combine buttermilk, Cattlemen's Carolina Tangy Gold BBQ Sauce, and Frank's RedHot.
2. Trim any excess fat off chicken pieces. Cut thighs in half length-wise. Add chicken to marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
3. Place 3 cups of flour in a large bowl with 2 Tbsp of Cattlemen's Chicken Seasoning and whisk until well combined. Place remaining 3 cups of flour in another large bowl. Add salt and pepper and whisk until well combined.
4. Remove chicken from buttermilk and place on a wire rack to drain slightly. Place each chicken piece into the Cattlemen's seasoned flour individually. Squeeze the flour mixture into the chicken to create a thicker coating with ridges and bumps. Place on a clean rack and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate. Repeat this process with the salt and pepper seasoned flour.
5. Fry chicken until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Allow to drain on clean wire rack. Serve hot with Cattlemen's Gold Maple Syrup or Honey Mustard Aioli.
