After reading the other reviews I am puzzled about what people saw in this recipe... A light crispy coating and flavor would have been nice... :(

The Trick for making good Southern Fried Chicken is the seasonings as well as if you can shaking in a paper bag put all your seasonings in a paper bag with self rising flour and 1 pack of sazon .. clean your chicken pat dry mix in all your seasonings that you n your family enjoys you can use some mustard as well not spicy mustard regular frenchs mustard let marinate for 15 minutes in the fridge dont use buttermilk if you want you can go ahead but dont use the mustard after the 15 minutes shake off shake in paper bag only if you have make sure you shake off some flour you dont want thick flour patches on your chicken and deep fry drain on paper towels and enjoy your chicken Family will just want some more

I have been doing a version of this recipe for years! I love it, I do everything the same except I use chicken theighs and throw it in an oven at 400 and let it fry itself, sometimes there is flour on the too of the chicken but I just baste it once or twice. Very YUMMY!

This was a good hook up! However the meat itself was bland. I will make it again for sure but this time I will season the meat a little before placing it in the fridge over night. I did not have bags so bowls for the butter milk and flour mixture worked out just fine. I used a basket for deep frying and that was a mistake, the chicken stuck to it....lol. All in all I did enjoy, i just wish the chicken had absorbed more flavor. This was great with Mac-N-Cheese and my daughter ate it all up! I will keep this one fore sure. Good job with this one however I can only give 4 stars due to the lack of meat flavor.

I found this recipe to be excellent as is. Perhaps the person who gave it one star could post her recipe for "really good" fried chicken so we could review it?

I thought the buttermilk added a great flavor, but I don't believe this was the best fried chicken I've made.

WOW! My husband (a true southerner) said, this was the best fried chicken he's ever had. I was surprised at how little work it took. (Well except for the usual mess).

Simple and just the right flavor. If I add too many spices my kids won't like it. I cooked thighs, so I added more time to fry them.

Bland. Needs seasoned breadcrumbs.

Anyone who would say that this recipe was like throwing money out the window needs to serve at a food kitchen for just one day. Absolutely nothing wrong with this recipe or the seasonings. My only problem was getting the chicken pieces to cook throughly. I did use dark meat, which takes longer anyway, but twenty minutes just didn't seem to do it even tho I used a candy thermometer. I had to place the meat in the oven for about fifteen minutes. Nontheless, it was tasty, crispy and enjoyed by my gang. Thanks Lora!
