Buttermilk Fried Chicken

From Classic Hall at Disney's Pop Century Resort

Yield: 6 servings.

2 pounds chicken pieces (breasts, legs, and thighs)
3 cups buttermilk
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper4 eggs, beaten
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 cups vegetable shortening, for frying

1. Place chicken pieces skin side down in a shallow container and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight, if possible.

2. Heat the oven to 375 F. Remove chicken from the buttermilk and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place beaten eggs and flour in separate shallow bowls. Dredge chicken pieces first in the flour, then egg, and then flour again.

3. In 12-inch sauté pan with deep sides, melt enough shortening so that it is 2 inches deep. Heat the pan until oil begins to smoke. Fry chicken for 2 minutes on each side until skin is golden brown.

4. Transfer to a baking sheet. Bake chicken 15 minutes, or until cooked through.

This is really similar to the recipe that I use except that I put Tabasco in with my buttermilk to give it a little kick and I use a 1 1/2 tsp of cayenne and 2 tsp. of baking powder to make it a really crispy flavorful batter in with my flour and seasonings.
It's so good that next to Mama Melroses grilled tenderloin with red wine tomato sauce it has to be my DH favorite thing to eat. But because of the fat we only have it about once a year!!

I made this last night and it was very good... so moist and yummy!

The only difference was that I seasoned the flour with a few different things that I generally use...

My son and bf really enjoyed it, although we don't usually fry things... I don't think that I have every purchased Crisco in my life, so it will not be a regular, but is a worthy once in a while treat!

Thanks again for posting this!
