I am not a big fried chicken fan. I'll eat a little Bojangles or Chik-fil-a in the car or on a trip, but that is about it. But the kids love fried chicken. So here is my plan for dinner tomorrow. Please advise and correct if I am in danger.
I have 1 whole cut up chicken and some chicken tenderloins.
Going to season everything lightly tonight with a rub.
Tomorrow I am going to smoke the chicken at about 150-180 for maybe 30 mins to an hour. Just going to go by looks.
Then rest it and let it cool. Going to put it in some buttermilk mixed with a little hot sauce for an hour in the fridge.
I'll then coat it with flour mixed with a tiny bit of salt and probably smoked paprika or chipotle pepper.
Fry it in my big dutch oven until golden brown. Drain oil and lest it rest.
Planned on using peanut oil.
This sound ok, or am I missing something? Never fried chicken before.
@Miss Lily ?
